That is 3 MB file that must first download to the user machine, are testing this on cable/DSL/t1
connections? If not then you must wait for the file to be downloaded and the machine must have a
player that support the AVI format.

Also remove the space from all file and folder names.

Actually, I didn't see the other 2 3MB files, which then make just loading the home page to have to
wait for 9 MB of extra data that you should just create a link to.

Can you tell us a little about the machine that can't see it, like the OS, browser version, media
player, internet connection type/speed, etc.

It could be that it just takes a long time to open. The 3 videos total 10mb in file size which is
"huge" for a web page.

Also, I had no sound, and when I right clicked the videos to stop them ( my hard drive was churning
constantly ) it froze my browser. Not sure why that happened, but you might consider only using one
video because people stuck behind dial up modems will get frustrated waiting for the page to open.

Real.com.

Tremendous improvement. Still takes about 10 seconds to load and display over a DSL line.

I still had no sound though, just some clicking noises. Is there supposed to be audio??

There is no sound. I am just testing. I still try to
figure out why some computers can't see it.

you've inserted this video as an image, not a video file.....and it takes forever
to load.

You need to insert this video through Insert > Picture > Video, or using a plug
in.

maybe they don't have the media player to view it? or it takes forever to
download, not everyone has broadband.....

I assume you're a student at the university (hence you're using their web
template)....so you would be on a network or something....?

Also, there is a space in the filename. Spaces are illegal characters in
URLs. FrontPage replaces the space with a %20, which is the character for a
space, but still some viewers may not be able to see it as they may not
resolve the space properly. Best bet, never use spaces in filenames as this
avoids lots of problems.

Hope this helps,
