Hello Video. With any luck!

Here is a link to a little video I have made. It's not the best but I'll take it for a first try I think.

Hello Video

What video - I have sat looking a black screen with loading in the middle of it. Is there more to it than that?

you must let it load. It may take a while if you have a dialup connection.

Good video, Dick,
It loaded and ran on my machine immediately and was really clear.

[Big and Bashful]

Yep, a good video, I am using a Vodafone datacard and it downloaded almost instantly and played great.

[knickerless]

I am on broadband - but it stll just shows 'loading' after several minutes. Do I need some special softwear to view?

[Mary Jane Boy]

Looks good to me Dick.

It loaded within seconds with Comcast.

Knickerless,
Maybe you need an up to dat Media player, or an up to dat Internet Explorer. I am running IE7 and Media Player 11 and the video worked perfectly. Of course the internet keeps adding other bits like Quicktime players and Realplayers. As there are links to the different file formats it may be worth trying the different links, one should work.

I have just updated to IE7 -still just shows a black screen with loading on it. I will try media Player 11. If that does not work I will leave things as they are. I am loath to download lots of additional software - usually they come with spyware and pop ups etc.

Hi Nick,
may I recommend Mozilla Firefox to you as an alternative to I.E (or, to those in the know, "That search engine that lets in virus, popups, and all sorts of terrible stuff").
Mozilla is free, does the same thing as I.E, but allows virtually no popups, has inbuilt virus protection, and basically runs without fuss doing what it should, unlike the hated and despised internet Ex*****R.....
Just type Mozilla Firefox into your search engine and go on from there. Costs nothing, saves a ton of heartache and cash mending your computer every six months because of I.E letting stuff in.

I have just downloaded Media player 11 and flash player (again) and it now works. Nice video by the way.

[Dick Ackerman]

Thanks. And I'm glad you finally got it to work.

Firefox latest version rules! Great video Dick! It's nice to get to "know" someone better by seeing and hearing them.

"Not the polished actor", indeed. Nice job! Overall, very human and enjoyable.
