Viewing Notes:

These videos are streamed for watching on your computer. They should start playing automatically after enough video is buffered to accommodate for your Internet connection.

The videos may open in a standalone pop-up window.

Be sure to select the video appropriate for the speed of your internet connection.

If the video stops and starts your Internet connection is not "big" enough for that video. You are viewing video faster that your Internet connection can deliver it to you. You should either: Wait while more of the video is buffered - come back in 5 or 10 minutes and then continue to view the video, or use a format for a slower connection.

Slower connection videos are smaller and contain less detail. Your Internet "pipe" is smaller and we cannot get as much through it to you. Use the buffering suggestion above if you want more detail.

These videos are prepared for viewing using QuickTime and/or Windows Media formats. If your browser says it cannot read the file then download and install the free QuickTime or Windows Media viewer using one of the links below.
