I was hired a couple months back to voice the demo video for brandmebig.com. The site went live over a week ago, but today's the first time I've been able to successfully play the video.

Thanks for the kind comments. Smile

For those who couldn't get it to work, I wish I had a solution. It played fine in Firefox on my Mac, and while there was a bit of a delay before it opened in Firefox on my wife's Windows system, it eventually came up and played without any issues. If I find it elsewhere, I'll pass the word.

Edit: one tip I can offer is that you have to move your mouse over the big yellow space in the popup in order to see the video controls.

Thanks Justin...The key was to wait like you said...it took almost 2 minutes in Firefox for the yellow window to come up...well worth the wait...Nice job!!

Very nice work!

Your client needs a bigger/faster server or something. Part of the problem is it takes forever to load considering its size. See if you can download a copy if you haven't already and put it on your YouTube channel for future promotion.

Good idea, Bruce. I was able to download the FLV file earlier this morning, but wouldn't I need permission from the owners of the Brand Me Big service to share the video via YouTube?

bruce - you can also right-click on the video and choose a lower quality which (should) buffer faster.
