We are testing out videos on our site:

So far, only a Yazoo video, maybe some day we can show Alphaville videos this way, please let us know how it works for you, I notice that you need a fast PC to run videos like this smooth [wink]

Great idea, sadly my pc is to slow... I wasn't able to type when I was watching the video! But thanks!!!! [beer]

It works for me alright, but I have to pause it so it will load a part of it before watching.
Shame my old desktop with Win 98 can't show much of it, despite the fast Internet connection. [smile]

everything depends from connection speed... but idea is GREAT! wii... could You upload on server Soul Messiah from Salt Lake City? It will be fantastic... (I have that on my computer and DVD, but it will be fantastic!...)

[wii]

No, speed of CPU is also a factor, my 2nd laptop (from 2002) which is a Pentium 3 (1200MHZ) is really not showing the video very well, all modern computers should not have a problem.

More news later what we can and can´t show on the video section, but it will be cool - I promise [wink]

[Mateusz]

You have right. But I think problem is dual. Slow connection, and week PC.
Maybe RAM space is not enough or PCU cache memory. On my computer (AMD 1,6 Ghz; 1024 MB RAM; 128 MB of graphic card), problem is only on connection level (i have 512Kbs). Video quality is great, but I must wait...

Nice old video .... that brings back memories. Summer of '99 ....

It worked fine overall. My computer is nearly five years old and a few times it paused for a second but it didn't detract much from the video.
