Q

Every movie I try to download and fail it says it
is possibly due to a network error. I’ve got
broadband. What’s the problem?

This can be caused by a number of problems. If every
video you try to watch on our site returns this error,
it is a temporary problem caused by our streaming
server breaking down from excess usage. During regular
business hours this should only take a few minutes
to fix once we are aware of the problem, so check
back soon and everything should work. On the other
hand, if you only receive this error for one particular
video, then it is possible that the video file has
been corrupted and we would appreciate your feedback
so we can fix it.

This kind of error usually
pops up due to a software conflict or improper install
of system level software...try the latest update for
Windows and Internet Explorer.

The problem probably has to do with your video drivers.
Try changing the number of screen colors from 16777216
to 65536.
|
| Q |
When
I try to watch a video it is choppy or the frame rate
is much slower than the audio rate. |
| A |
If
you have tried increasing your buffer size and made
sure you have the proper bandwidth selected, then most
likely this is caused by you having either outdated
hardware (a Pentium or lower), an outdated operating
system (Win 3.1), an outdated browser (Netscape 3, ie3),
or not enough memory, video ram, etc. The Windows media
codecs are optimized for Pentium III, and run fine on
Pentium II, but on a Pentium or lower they choke completely.
Also you need a decent amount of system resources, RAM,
VRAM etc to get good results.
|
| Q |
My
internet security settings do not allow the new decompressor
to be installed. |
| A |
This
is caused by Windows Media player trying to automatically
install a newer version of the codec needed to play
the video. Before you click to watch the video, set
your browser's security in the preferences (or internet
options) to low. Then click to watch the video and you
should not get this error. After you have watched the
video, you can set your browser security back to medium
or high and watch all the videos you want since Windows
Media player will have properly installed the newer
version of the codec.
|
| Q |
In
Windows Media Player, I clicked on a video and it asked
if I wanted to download and install a new codec. What
should I do? Or I installed a new codec and now I'm
having problems watching or hearing the videos.
|
| A |
If
you try to view a video, and your computer asks you
if you want to install a new codec, first check your
security settings before selecting yes: In Internet
Explorer, in either the "View" or the "Tools"
menu, find the "Internet Options" dialog box
and open it. Click on the "Security" tab in
this window. Make sure that your security setting for
the Internet Zone is set to "Low" before installing
the new codecs. If you select yes to add a new codec,
you MUST restart your system for the new codec to function
properly. If you installed a new codec, but did not
follow these instructions, you may now be having problems.
If you are having problems after installing a new codec,
please go to: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/en/default.asp.
Simply download the software and install it. Once installation
is complete, restart your system. You should then be
able to see and hear all the music videos properly.
