    That is very cool - thanks! Watched one video just to see what it was like - excellent quality of the stream. Was a 25MB file, so definitely broadband only. Amazing what is on the web these days for free!

    Were you able to watch the video in full screen mode ?
    Although there is a comment under the video saying:
    "- Double-click center of screen for full-screen view -
    - Hit ESC to come back to this original viewer -"
    Nothing happens when I try !
    I do have broadband, and the quality of the video is quite good and smooth, but is just too small.
    If I right click on the video and select 'zoom' and then full screen mode, the quality deteriorates quite a lot.
    My screen resolution is currently set to 1024 * 768, and increasing the resolution, does not appear to overcome the quality issue.
    Do you have any hints ?

    Had the same problem - right-clicking and selecting full screen will only make the same amount of infomation appear in a larger space, so the pixels have to be bigger.

    The only solution is decreasing your screen size to 800x600 or 640x480. That will make the image larger without significant pixelation.

    This depends on your video card I think. I am using a twin monitor setup with a Matrox G550 card and can watch the video and write this message on the other monitor. Slight pixellation around the edges only (on full screen). The Matrox adds some kind of smoothing to the edges that makes it appear better.

    Thanks for the tip, Stuart and Groggy.
    Unfortunately I think Groggy may be right, as I have an NVidia GeForce2 MX card with 64Mb on board, and the quality is still less than satisfactory.

    In spite of this, I have watched all their available sessions, which I have found very informative.

    I couldn't get it to work until I turned my firewall off temporarily. You may be able to get it working if you adjust your firewall permissions for the site.

    I couldn't get it to work in Firefox either. That is probably because I haven't set Firefox up for WM plugins correctly. I had to resort to using IE (shudder).

    Well-made videos, but badly organised site!
    This time, we didn't forget the gravy.
