Hi Jason,

I uploaded the video to YouTube as well (just for added exposure) but the playback is very choppy. I don't know whether hosting it there would make matters better on my website.

I'll look into that and also Vimeo (which I have not heard of).

Thanks,

Martin

It saves you bandwidth and they also work on pretty much every configuration out there these days...

All the best,
Jason

I have published my first video (created in iMovie 09), to my first website (created in Rapidweaver) but I wonder whether my learned fellow members of this group might be able to offer some advice. The content of the video is irrelevant (even if you do have a lifelong passion for slot racing) but I could do with some help. I should mention that the website is hosted on MobileMe.

At home, on a Apple Mac, I can view the video on my website easily. At the pub, the landlord's Windows laptop played the video without a hitch. It even plays flawlessly on my iPhone 3G (as the video is also on YouTube). I can't play it at work as I can't/am not allowed to install Quicktime.

However I have had a couple of emails from people who say that - when they go to the video page on the website - their computer just hangs. One or two probably don't have Quicktime installed but others seem to have fairly modern computers. Might it be a lack of RAM? Might it be those browsing using Microsoft IE? I don't know.

So I wonder whether some of you might be kind enough to view the video on your computer and see what happens. I always wait until the status bar shows that at least 50% of the video has loaded before playing the video. I should also like you , if you would be so kind, to have the sound turned on as there is both music and a commentary (and one person has pointed out they can see the movie but not hear the sound). You can view the video at

Perhaps you would be good enough to post your findings on this forum. If you have no problems, then let me know. If you do have problems, perhaps you might let me know what the problems are and also mention what computer and browser you are using. And, if you do encounter problems, do you have any ideas how I can resolve those issues?

Thanks in advance.

Martin
