MR video clips
Posted by AggroJones on Saturday, May 22, 2004 1:19 PM
Is anyone out there having trouble playing the video clips from this web site? Every e-mail news update I get from Trains.com ususally has a video link in it. My Windows Media player keeps telling me its "corrupted" and "the servers busy" everytime I try it. And it is the latest version of the player too. What could the problem be?

I have no troubles watching these video's,.
what is your internet connection speed?
I have no trouble watching but I noticed the speed of the streaming video is about 225 Kbsec, and I had similar problems when I was on dial-up, have you tried to save the file first and then play it after it was downloaded completely?

I tried them today, and one from Trains and they worked OK. Kind of jerky and blurry somewhat, but they did play OK. I have DSL connection.

It doesn't download all the way. It only gets to about 10%, then the error things pop up.

It always works for me, Quicktime and Media Player. Wonder what's wrong with Aggros? What type of computer do you have, Aggro?
