Mille Lacs Guy Posted 10/16/2008 11:10 AM (#74193 - in reply to #74192) Subject: RE: PWT VIDEOS Member Posts: 14 I'm having trouble viewing them as well. They are stopping and starting and it takes forever just to get through one short video. I'm not sure if the problem is my computer or connection or it is something else. In the past I have watched videos on WF with no problems at all. This is a problem as I haven't been getting my walleye fix from the videos:-O baw Posted 10/16/2008 11:14 AM (#74194 - in reply to #74192) Subject: RE: PWT VIDEOS I click on them and it brings it up and acts like its going to run but then the video screen sits blank.

The bitrate of the clips hasn't changed, meaning they should load at the same speed they always have (we just tested 3 simultaneous streams from here on mac and pc using ie and firefox with no problem on a standard broadband connection). However, we are now using a codec which requires flash 9 to be installed. You should see a huge quality improvement in the clips we produce, but you need to be sure you have at a minimum flash 9 installed on your browser. Use the link below to get the latest version of flash. http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ WalleyeFIRST Posted 10/16/2008 11:33 AM (#74197 - in reply to #74195) Subject: RE: PWT VIDEOS Member Posts: 1382 I also noticed that they run fine in flash v9 on firefox but not in IE, so I have now required v10. If you don't have flash v10 installed you will receive a message with an install link if you try to view..

Even though the adobe screen says download and install, it only downloads, you need to manually run the program after downloading. IE should auto install after you opt out of the multiple security warnings. baw Posted 10/16/2008 12:04 PM (#74200 - in reply to #74192) Subject: RE: PWT VIDEOS Thanks guys I had to load the v10 WalleyeFIRST Posted 10/16/2008 12:26 PM (#74202 - in reply to #74200) Subject: RE: PWT VIDEOS Member Posts: 1382 We just configured an updater that should make the process fairly pain-free and somewhat automatic.
