Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Why can't I get videos to play?

A: There are a variety of reasons why a video may not play for you as expected. We can't go into details for every circumstance here. Assuming a good and functioning broadband connection to the internet (DSL / Cable), an up-to-date browser (Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Opera, Internet Explorer), videos should play for you using HTML5 Video or using the Adobe's Flash Plugin component as a fall-back for browsing clients that do not as yet do well at HTML5 Video content delivery (i.e. Internet Explorer).
