Tried to watch the Video of the PXtronics line array but it loads and plays for about 18 seconds at most then it stops and that annoying round thing just goes round and round on the picture....
It seems there are always issues with this embedded Flash video. Why not use Quicktime or even put it on youtube and link to it?

Mac support?
I cannot get your video player to work correctly on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, neither in Safari nor in FireFox. FireFox 3 just came out, and it doesn't work their either.
I'm using the latest Flip4Mac WMV 2.2 plugin, if that makes any difference.
On the Mac, when I try to play one of your videos, I get about 45 seconds into the video and the video player locks up and displays and endless revolving circle. Every time. I can't watch any video past about 45 seconds to one minute.
I don't like having to find a Windows computer with Internet Explorer 6 or 7 to watch your videos.
I think you need to switch to a different brand of video player that provides proper cross-platform support for Mac systems.

I agree these Flash videos are flakey at best on the mac..I happen to be using a mac as well but I seem to have no problems most of the time..Weird.

They should be working now. Apparently there were problems not with the videos themselves, but with the XML tags. At its worst, no matter what video you clicked on, you got the sE Electronics video (although I suppose sE wasn't too upset).
I've been checking these out on Windows IE Explorer and they all work fine. I'll be checking them on the Mac later today.
Thanks for your patience.

Not yet. Performance on Mac OS X is still just as poor as it ever was. I cannot watch more than the first few seconds of any of these videos on my Mac.

You're right, videos still don't play on the Mac - mostly. Steve Fortner from Keyboard magazine was able to watch them fine on his Mac, so who knows...
