strangely, i can view the clips (although they're pretty jerky sometimes) pretty good on my home computer, which is like 3 years old and uses windows 98..on my work computer which is super-duper new and fast (yeah, can you tell i'm not relly a tech guy?), i can get audio, but no video.

have you tried emailing the club? did you get a response from them?

Most people can see the clips. I've never had any problem seeing them. It is just a vocal minority that makes it seem like they are so difficult to view.

Icant see them either...128k connection...but even the small files are just blocky mush...and i cant get any download software to get past the security check...A nice fancy site is all very well but a simple direct URL to the videos would help greatly...i have no trouble with porn.
Money didn't matter last night....but it sure does matter 2day!

Don't let it play while it's buffering. I hit pause or stop and then waited a LONG time for the entire file to load. Then you can save and/or watch it once it's buffered to your computer.

Ive not really had any problems...try and look at them when the USA is asleep!

Tip: If your using windows Media 9 you can download the files easily. First clear your cache...in tools internet options delete temporary files. Then set WMP going...it will tell you 100% has buffered. Watch the file if u want then look in the cache the file will be there and move it to where u want.

the cache needs to be big enough so do each file seperately and there will be no probs.
Live life and be happy

When I realized how slow the buffering was I was going to give up... then I found a way to download them: if you right-click the 'monitor' while they're buffering and ask for the properties (I think, don't really remember) you get the direct url to the video and then you can download it using get right... at least this is how I did it on the pc... didn't manage to do the same on my Mac, though...

It took a long time for the videos to do the buffing think, but once they downloaded to my internet temp files, I can play them with no problem, smooth picture and everything!

do you think that the people who joined the club and are having trouble viewing the videos should just figure "oh well, i guess i won't be able to see them"?

nl06645 has been very positive and supportive of the club in other posts, and even this one is simply a tad sarcastic due to his or her frustration...

i don't understand why you even posted on this thread, since everybody else either contributed something helpful or sympathized with nl06645's frustration. nobody attacked the club, so there really was no reason for you to get all upset.

This was the easiest way for me to view them also. Pretty nice quality actually.
