Video Error Messages

Wolfman,

These are all big files. You are probably experiencing network timeout problems due to server load or a slow internet connection. I suggest you try and download the file by right clicking on the link or gallery icon, and saving the file to your local disk rather than streaming the videos. Let me know if that worked for you.

[wolfman]

I know it isn't a slow internet connection. I'm one step below a T1 at the office and home. All the other files work fine except these new ones.

I'd save them to disk, but when I'm at home, when I right click on the link, "Save target as" is not highlighted. (You wouldn't know how to fix that, would you!)

It works that way at work, but not at home - WinXP Pro at both places.

Might have to just download them to cd at work

This message is my personal thanks to all who attempt to access our video content and experience the occasional problem. You are our hearty band of Internet Pioneers, and we appreciate your patronage. The glitches you experience enable us to pave the seamless way for others.

And thanks also to our ever-ready 'self-help' crew. I am constantly amazed at the can-do attitude such as that evidenced above by Wolfman. Our members accept the mantle of reponsibility as 'keepers of the flame,' and I sincerely appreciate it.

Finally, to my indefatigable Site Administrators -- namely, Bagger, Trig and Bambam -- I once again express my heartfelt gratitude. You are real people with real-time careers and family.

You are Mike.

And Mike.

And Ben.

You are my friends...

And you do it all for our members.

Thank you.

Yes, thanks wolfman, all our members, and especially Yoda for making this a great place to study G.O.L.F.

Maybe firewall - since that computer is running off a wireless connection, and I think the router has the firewall on.

Is it possible to selectively stop the firewall from working for specific sites?

Thanks for you replies. I'm one of those amatuer computer guys with just enough knowledge to screw things up!

[bambam]

A firewall on your router wouldn't disable the "save target as" link. Some firewall/security systems that reside on your PC are a bit more intrusive (ie. Norton Internet Security). If you have firefox, I'd be interested to know if you're able to download from that browser.

At the office, we have a McAfee product at office, Panda Anti-virus at home. Webroot spyware at both. Use IE.

I've been able to watch and save the Yoda/VJ and Ben series. I just stayed after hours at work to do it.

I'd save them to disk, but when I'm at home, when I right click on the link, "Save target as" is not highlighted. (You wouldn't know how to fix that, would you!)

It works that way at work, but not at home - WinXP Pro at both places.

Wolfman,

Are you running any sort of firewall, internet security, or popup blocker software at home that you aren't using at work?
