Q: What do I need to watch the videos?
A: For streaming video, you need a computer (not a WebTV or similar machine) with a high-speed connection (for example, cable or DSL) and the latest version of Windows Media Player (which you can download here: ). To download http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/mp10/default.aspx a complete video, you can use a slower-speed connection (for example, dial-up), but it will obviously take longer to download the video than it would on a high-speed connection.

A:Mac Users Can Only Play The Video Streams and Not The Downloadble Videos. Please Install http://www.flip4mac.com/ to get the streams to work properly

Q: What browser can I use?
A: The system will work with any browser.

Q: What if something goes wrong during the streaming?
A: Usually clearing your browser cache and rebooting solves any problems - If you are still having issues, feel free to contact us

Q: The streaming video isn't really streaming, it's skipping, freezing or just playing audio.
A: If you're on a high-speed connection, the problem is almost definitely that you or someone else on your network is doing something else (downloading, uploading) that is bandwidth-intensive. Try closing all other applications (or having the people on your network stop downloading other material) and you should see this problem fixed.
Also you may be choosing a video stream that is too high, try one of the lower speed streams
