    DAMN! That and the other most recent one (keni) are causing me trouble. All I did differently was change the dimensions slightly. I can't see how that would effect anything.

    Hey Squirt, I re-encoded...

    http://www.uknakedmen.com/tour/previews/keni/index.html and http://www.uknakedmen.com/tour/previ...ry2/index.html.

    Can you see if they play for you now?

    Mac Support?

    Hey Xstr8guy, I love the clean design ... you've got a great looking site! I'm on a Mac (OS X v10.4.9) and tried in both Safari and Firefox, what plugin are you using for the videos? In Firefox when I click on "Install Missing Plugins" I just get "Unknown Plugin (text/plain)" with the option for Manual Install. Safari seems even more confused about the plugin. :hmm:

    It's just good ol' windows media. This is a rather recent problem that has just cropped up. My biz partner also has a Mac and can't see the video anymore. Did Apple do anything recent to their OS?

    Aha! I didn't have WMV installed. Popped over to Mactopia and got v9 for OS X and now it's working. Very nice quality videos! Not sure why your biz partner can't view the videos any more, I noticed 2 versions of Windows Media Player for the Mac in OS X (v7 and v9) maybe he has the older version?

    I tried a couple of them and they are looking great, it loads fast for me

    Hey, Jim, have you thought about changing these to flash previews? Flash offers nice high quality in a small video size, and for small clips like this you don't need any special server-side technology, just a copy of Flash Video MX (or another program) to convert it for you....btw, the Flash Video MX program also generates the html code for you too.

    cheers,
    Luke

    I have tossed the idea around of changing to Flash for the preview videos. But my biggest concern is that potential members can test the videos before they join... since the member's videos are WMV too. I'm trying to avoid the "I watched the videos on your tour but I can't play the videos in the member's area" kind of complaints.

    I also want to avoid an additional layer of compression. Since I encode the original AVIs in Vegas. And since Vegas doesn't do Flash, I'd have to encode the preview into another format and then convert that into Flash.

    I do like the idea of having the Flash video clickable straight to the join page though.

    Just so you know - in an AOL browser, the videos do require hitting the play button as it wants you to activate it to use the activex controls, but once I hit play, it started immediately and played smoothly. Great quality and composition on those!

    Ah great... I'm glad it works with WMP installed.

    I think my partner must have lost a codec somehow. That kind of crap happens in Windows all of the time but this would be a first time I've heard of it happen to a Mac.
