WMV - Windows Media Player Video (Version 10)
640x480 Resolution 700-1000kb/sec bitrate
You will need the windows media player version 10 to play take advantage of the newer, higher resolution 640x480 videos. To download windows media player 10, visit this page. You need Windows 98SE or higher to play the WMV versions.
Mac users can also now play wmv9 with this microsoft update. Does the WMV video seem choppy or slow? If you have a PC with low memory or 800mhz system or weaker, the cpu will not be able to play the high resolution/bitrate smoothly, and its better if you use the DivX option instead. REAL ONE PLAYER (Real Player): If that is your default player, do not attempt to use it! It will not play wmv9 videos or play them corrupt. Use your windows media player. Realplayer is the gamut of cheap quality low-bandwidth video, and that is not FTV.
Recently we've noticed Netscape users may be having problems where Netscape uses are getting a text file when they attempt to open videos. If you have this problem, please try the following:
- Right click on the video link
- Select "copy link location"
- Open Windows Media
- Go to "file" and then "open url"
- Paste the URL into your browser and hit OK. |
