The videos on that site are "embedded" on the page so it should work for even the the older "Netscape 4" era browsers. Are you running some special software blocking the videos? It could be some security settings as well.

Try to load the site with an alternative browser like Mozilla or Firefox. I just tried it with Moz and it works fine.

I suggest you www.getfirefox.com and try watching using FireFox. It is SOO much better than Internet Explorer. IE sometimes fux up. You probably need to update your media player also.

I've had that issue before and Firefox played it.

maybe you should do the common trick in windows: uninstall and install wmp10, and then it should do fine.

all of them can be saved most of the time for me works right klick/show sourse code and search for .wmv and there is the link or it finds .wmv but link is not full, sort of - /blabla/blabla.wmv so you just find in the beginning www.sitewithvids/ or so and make full links if its streaming from mms:// then you need a proggie like WMR or streamDown

sometimes the direct links are hidden by javascript, so unless you're into cryptography I suggest you use URL Snooper to let the browser parse and compile links for you and then sniff them using the provided.
