PC USER'S NOTE as of March, 2010: Test movies we develop for use on a PC generally use the Adobe Flash format. Running Flash .swf movie files require Adobe Flash Player installed on the client computer. Adobe Flash Player is a free download at: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/. Flash usually downloads and installs without problems.
APPLE USER'S NOTE as of March 2010: For what I assume are competitive reasons Apple computers won't run a movie that uses Adobe's Flash Format. For those who want to test the movies presented here on an Apple computer, we use Apple movie formats: .avi, .mov, and .mp4. A download of an Apple viewer for movies in these formats is available at http://www.apple.com .
NOTE:As of this writing in late 2015, there are no common standards for playing web videos across all web platorms, and there are continuing changes in the web environment for playing videos no matter what the video format. Competitive factors among some product vendors mean that this is probably not going to change anytime soon. In an effort to keep up with the evolving technology, and keep our technology simple (aka easy to replicate), we are re-building our video play-back configurations using the HTML5 Standard for running multiple video clip formats from our web pages on as many web platforms as possible.
