I have ADSL from Telus. I get 100k/second downloading at the very minumum, usually it is 150k/s.

Some of the videos went without a hitch, then I started the sump one, and it was chunky. Maybe there were lots of people downloading videos at that time and the slowdown was server side.

I have noticed that if I click a few buttons in fairly quick succession, then the video can start loading one video while the other is still loading. And this can slow it, so the playhead catches up with the buffer...

You know the horizontal bar at the bottom, it progresses as the video loads. The little "nibby" thing shows the playhead. Does the playhead overtake the loading bar?

I've tested it a zillion times but havent had problems. I'd love to know what percentage of people do have problems. I've only heard from 3 people o far, and one had a really old versionof flash on his computer.

I suppose I'll need to make a lower rez version of the site.
You can let the video buffer manually, by hitting the pause button (bottom left), and just waiting a bit before playing again. As well there is a podcast feed, which will download as soon as a new episode goes online. It'll download automatically, if you leave your itunes on(or whatever podcast subscriber you use).

The podcast feed listed on the Apple podcast directory and a few others. The feed is reefvideos_podcast01.rss

I guess this thing is growing, and I need to do things a little better.
I've seen a tonne of views from canreef.com! Big forum here!

Let me know of any problems, or suggestions. I'm lineing up some more tank-tours.

Scott-Afss huh?, Lets see if hes into it.

I second that, i love videos of tanks that one day i would like to emulate

I found one thing that was wrong with the buffering on some of the videos... It started playing before it was really ready.... Oopps.

I've got a few new videos up, Marte's tank is spectacular. This current video showcases his seahorse tank, which is full of Ricordia.

Here's some clips from the video. Stunning eh.
(The Americans are making fun of me, 'ccause I said "eh" in a few videos )
