large video player launched

finally! new player has launched.



check out the new hotkey support, especially for screen size and a-b repeat. I think it's great.

Thanks Jon! Great video player.

I do have one question: I clicked on the Download video but it is in "FLV" format. I assume there are FLV players to download from, but I rather use my existing Windows Media Player. Don't want too many different media players installed onto my computer.

FLV is the video format for most video web sites (youtube, video google, etc).

Unfortunately, Windows Media Player doesn't support FLV files.

Fortunately, we go to the trouble to provide a downloadable version of our custom FLV player for Full Access subscribers. On the right toolbar (any page except the forum) you will see a "subscriber downloads" button. Click that to get our downloadable FLV player. Right now it is the old player, but shortly you will be able to go there to get the new one.

Good, I'll check it out!

In reply to the posts above, the videos are coded in flash.

If you use a web browser like Firefox (2.x onwards) it has a default Adobe flash player plugin as standard. The videos can be played within the window.
The plugin is available from here: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash and supports both XP/Vista and IE6/7 & Firefox (and many other browser/OS configurations)

If you wish to use the files offline then the current version of Windows Media Player supports these .FLV file extensions. You will probably recieve a warning that the file format is not supported, however click ok and it should play anyway. ;)

Alternatively the best multipurpose player is VLC available here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

Hope that helps

BTW: Love the larger videos!
