Hi there,

I have a MAC and I want to stream my uni lectures. The videos (apaprently) come from a Windows Streaming server. I have tried installing Flip for Mac but it opens the video in a new window and doesn't play at all. Seems to freeze on the first frame.It does this when Quicktime is set as the player.

I have seen other people at uni stream it to their Mac's, it is embedded in the web page (as it should be) and it looks fine.

I am sure that there is a weird setting somewhere that I don't know about. Should I try to install it again?

thanks,
Suzie.

What type of video is this? What plugins do you have installed for this video? and what plugins does it suggest to install?

It is being streamed from University. They are using a Windows media server. So it will obviously be in Windows format.

I have no plugins installed, however I had Flip for Mac, but removed it as it didn't work for these types of videos.

Nothing is suggested to install. As I said, others at Uni can play it on their Macs.

What exactly happens when you access this page?

And is this page publicly available? Do you have a URL with which I could access this page?
