I got the player but not the movie. Nothing happens, the movie does not play, the play button is greyed out. Only the Stop button worked. When I pressed that (using both IE6 and Firefox), the browser crashed.

I tried clicking the download link and it worked, it opened my default media player (Windows Media Player), but the movie does not play. I just see a transparent screen and it says at the bottom "Connecting...".

I've read the instructions, and can't seem to see where I'm going wrong. I don't have the time to read the entire thread so can anyone please point me in the right direction to a solution?

I guess that there's sth wrong with your AVI file.
You make it yourself?
try to use another AVI file to test the function.
