1. Thanks for posting LK.

Will watch tonight.

2. not on my Mac, with Safari

. I even have Windows Media Player, which works fine for ALL other WMP-based video on ALL other websites I've encountered so far. But not this one. This is why I've been PLEADING with the johnkerry.com site to please post this on their site in a more universal format. I've also written to Pepperdine, asking for helping in connecting, and also begging to buy a CD if this problem can't be fixed. I 've also written to the Senate office, also begging for a CD. No progress on any front. It's very very frustrating, as I've wanted to see this for 3 months now, and I've also wanted to SEND it to people, but I've have not yet succeeded in connecting. (The screen freezes as "connecting. . " and ends up not with the message, "Server not responding". The transcript is not enough, as it only includes the text as prepared for delivery, and I've heard that the Q and A was as good as the speech. (Anyone from johnkerry.com or kerry.senate.gov reading this? If so, the bottom line is PLEASE HELP!!)

3. also doesn't work on my Mac with Camino

(just in case anyone with connections to johnkerry.com can help out here. . )

6. Also doesn't work on a Mac with Firefox.

And I really, really want to do a transcript of the Q&A...

4. Oh wow, I thought this was an updated link

They really do need to put this speech up at the Kerry website and make it accessible to Mac users. I agree with you!

14. you say you can't watch it on your mac, bunkie?

Try getting a *real* computer.

:::ducking and running:::

[MBS]

15. smile when you say that , pahdner

:spank:


Tsk-tsk, Mloutre. I know that you PC users are tougher than we are, since you have so much more experience with annoyances such as viruses, crashing computers, and other treats of Windows than we Mac users, who usually can do our work trouble-free.

This from a South Bay person no less. Tsk-tsk.

5. Is the video working for you?

I already tried it yesterday and then again today and it isn't working for me. But it worked back in September; I remember that I watched it twice. It's a shame that we can't download it. I figured out how to download the Flash videos but this one...?

[Blaukraut]

7. It's working fine for me

I watched it this morning and tried again just now, after reading your post. But they really need to have a downloadable version.

10. I have a PC and use Windows Media Player

It's still not working. :cry:

[Blaukraut]

11. that's what I use, too

What type of internet connection do you have?

[europegirl4jfk]

12. DSL

That shouldn't be the problem because I can usually stream all kind of videos. When I try this video link it tells me this:

"Windows Media Player kann die Datei nicht wiedergeben, weil ein Netzwerkfehler aufgetreten ist. Möglicherweise ist der Server nicht verfügbar. Überprüfen Sie, ob eine Netzwerkverbindung besteht und die Proxyeinstellungen richtig funktionieren."

It doesn't make much sense because all other streaming videos are working fine.

8. It's working fine for me.

It opens in Windows Media Player. I don't have time to watch it now, but the first few minutes of it seem fine.

[MBS]

9. the problem seems to be Mac compatibility, not WMP

I have fully-functioning Windows Media Player, and it still doesn't work with this link.

13. This is

one of my favorite speeches. Thanks for the link LK!
