RE: 2000 U.S. Masters Regatta VIDEO

Ok, in your case I may know why:

Since you say it is only loading the first image, here's what the browser is
probably doing.  Once you are on the page that the video is supposed to be
on:  The Browser loads the HTML page from top to bottom, so it loads each
item then moves on to the next item down.  The first item is an invisible
table, it loads the first rown and the first cell which contains the graphic
with the link back to the gallery, then it moves to the next row down which
contains another cell.  This cell contains the video.  The browser won't
load the next cell after that until all of the contents of the previous cell
are loaded, so since this is the video, and the videos are between 500k and
1700k  (that's .5 mb and 1.7mb respectively) those could take a while to
download especially if you are on a dial-up at 56k.  (That would usually
take me as much as 10 minutes per megabyte to download.)  So you don't see
anything else on the page because the video and hence the cell have not
completed loading.

Does that make sense?
I'm trying to get this to work for as many people as possible, but video on
the internet is just one of those things you can never predict......

Here's the link to the gallery if you haven't checked out all of the
pictures and videos of the 2000 U.S. Laser Masters Regatta.

I have the highlights from Day 3, but I haven't completed them for posting
just yet,  I'll try to get those done in the near future so you all can see
them.

I won't be answering any more email until at least sometime tomorrow.  Exams
are done and I'm moving the computer back home for the holiday.

Hello all,

	Thank you to those who've replied.
	Seems like you guys are all having different problems than what I'm
experiencing.  Maybe I'm just doing something wrong.
	Ok, here's what happens.  I go to the FBYC website, click on
gallery, and I see a bunch of peoples' names that are all hyperlinks (as
well as each of the 5 parts of the day 2 highlights).  I click on any of
their names, and it brings me to a blank page with only the 'FBYC 2000 U.S.
Laser Masters' header at the top--that's it.  The only thing I can click on
is the header, which simply brings me back to the gallery!  I've tried this
over and over again, clicking on different video clips, but I get the same
results each time.
	When I right click on the hyperlinks, it will allow me to save the
URL, but no video file.
	Basically, in my case, there are no video files associated with the
hyperlinks.  This is pretty weird, especially considering that you guys are
clicking on the same links and getting something.  Does this make any sense?
