Default Testing video for cc

So I understand wmv videos are not the most friendly for all browsers including mobile devices. I was told mp4 video works everywhere.

Give me some feedback on these videos.

I am not getting consistent results on my machines.

For me it's the same/similar problem that I've always had with the CC videos, I have to click on the little part at the bottom that says 'Download this video for yourself' and then it loads and I can view it.
But that's only something on my end of course, I must not have that 'plug in' or something.

Worked fine for me, but for some reason, it was slower on this test site. I did however like that pass against Wells!

I did notice they do not start playing right away like the wmv versions.

Marc and Joe that is not good guys. One thing that might be affecting you is it is not playing till fully download so maybe if you wait a bit?

Think I am going back to the drawing board

Good news is it loads and play on the idvices where it did not before. Bad news is that is not the common viewing device

I just loaded the 64 MB file and it took 16 seconds to start. So it appears as though Quicktime doesn't stream.

well just chatted with the support folks and they had me make a change to the server configuration that they said should fix this. Said it would take some time so I am walking away and checking tomorrow.

by the way if anyone is wondering why it is doubled, i have two different "objects" defined slightly differently. It is supposed to be for IE so if you use IE and see different before in one of the two, let me know which you think is better/worked for you.

Did you tap on the video box? I think if you do it pops it out to the player on the phone

It shows up with a symbol showing the red circle with line through it which means NO! Tap on it and nothing happens. It could mean I don't have the proper video software but other videos do play on it. No videos from the Corvette Challenge videos play on my phone. Sorry

Tony on my iphone 4 i do not get the play arrow and clicking the arrow pops out of the browser plays the video. You keep the phone updated? Should be a standard thing for apple. It is the apple users I am trying to address.

Yesterday's server change still does not seem to stream the video except on, guess what, the apple devices...damn proprietary war!!

Apple is such a pain. I even downloaded some software that was supposed to allow me to convert the videos over and that didn't work either. I'll just use Anthony's laptop. Thanks Edgar.

It works on my macbook through safari. I didnt check the others with windows. A little slower to load, but once it loads up, its fine.
