Videos

Most videos are WMV files. They'll play on most Windows computers.

 

The medium file is good video, smooth motion, but it is so large that you have to wait up to 10 -15 minutes on a basic DSL connection before it starts playing. The video will start playing only when the "buffering" reaches 100%. If you click Play before it starts playing automatically, it will play only partially and then pause. If you can't wait that long, try playing the smaller size video.

 

The small file is low resolution in a small window, and playing with a jerky motion at only 15 frames per second.  But, the file is small and can be viewed even on dial-up computers (if you can wait a few minutes for it to download).

Just for Fun
