Given that Dik has identified that the professional version is at least preferable in Firefox, I have replaced the link on the site with that version. There is now only a single link to test if you would all be so kind. Please and thank you.

It displays fine on my Firefox at work (although I cannot check the sound as I don't have speakers on this machine).

All in all, Flash would be the most cross platform and cross browser solution IMO.

it worked for me without problem on Chrome. for InternetExplorer I merely had to activate an activeX element to make it work. (both video and sound).
I had to wait for some 20 seconds though for it to load the first bit, but didn't get any status bar of how much was loaded. if someone is impatient, he may not wait long enough for the video to load.

I tried it on XP and will do another test on Vista (with Firefox, IE and Chrome) tonight.

Yup, agreed.

Thanks so much guys. I can't do it in flash. It was recorded using the webinar software tools that I use and they do not provide a flash format that can be embedded into an html page. My web guy converted the mwv file to flash but he said the sound then became very tinny. Ah the trials and tribulations.

thanks so much again.

Yep, that's me impatient. No way I would have waited 20 minutes for it to load, even if there was something to tell me that it was actually doing something.

sorgesu

dik, I wouldn't post a clip that took 20 minutes to load.
He said 20 seconds. That isn't even a universal experience and is individual ISP provider and timing dependant. Not much one can do about that

That is what I get for trying to read with too little sleep...

ok. at home, with windows vista it doesn't work at all as an embedded version. only the external player plays back the video.

Thanks so much Jakob. I guess I will have to content myself with that since I have been "fired" as a customer.
Thank you all so very much for your help.
