Viewing Video Clips

Quick Help
The samples of our work are best viewed in Internet Explorer using Windows Media Player.  Simply click on the link below the thumbnail and a window will open to view the clip. If you are not seeing the clip, you may have
pop-ups blocked, java and/or activeX disabled.

A quick and simple alternative to viewing the clips in the browser is to click on the wvx link below the clip OR click on the wmv link to download the file and then view it.

Mac Users
Just like with windows,  the samples of our work are best viewed in Internet Explorer using Windows Media Player.  If that doesn’t work for you, we’ve posted Apple Quicktime (MOV) files for most of our clips. Just click on the MOV link and Quicktime viewer will open. Should you have a problem, a alternate way to view the Windows Media clips, click on the wvx link (the wmv link will also work) and select “copy link location”. Then open Windows Media Player, chose File, Open URL and paste the copied url into the open window. Now select Play and the file will stream.  Note: We are working on getting all the .mov files on line for you Apple folks. Please be patient.

Firefox Users
Some Firefox users have difficulty viewing media files. A nice Add-on is made available by Mozilla (that’s the Firefox folks) that makes viewing just about all media easy. You can get it at:

WVX
A .wvx file is a Windows Media Redirector file. The only purpose of this file is to redirect you to Windows Media files like WMV files.  In most cases, it will allow the file to stream, or in other words, be viewed as it is loading.

WMV
WMV stands for Windows Media Video -- developed and controlled by Microsoft.  It is the actual video file.  It can be saved to you computer for future viewing.  In some cases, it may be necessary to load the entire file before it can be viewed.
