Thom, Are you getting any error messages? I tested out a couple videos this morning and had no problems.
I managed to view the "drag your mob"-video, but then I tried "Yoda of Arabia" and got this:
Windows Media Player Error Message Help
You've encountered error message C00D11B3 while using Windows Media Player. The following information might help you troubleshoot the issue.
Encountered a network error
Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the Player encountered a network error. You might encounter this error message for one of the following reasons:
The server is not available (for example, the server is busy or not online). Try again later.
You are not connected to the local area network (LAN) or to the Internet. Connect to the network or Internet, and then try again.
The proxy server settings for the Player are not configured properly. Verify that your proxy settings are correct, and then try again.
If you are using your computer at work, your network administrator might be blocking digital media streams from particular Web sites. For more information, contact your network administrator.
To verify your proxy server settings
On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Network tab, and then verify your settings in the Streaming proxy settings area.
Notes
If you do not know what your proxy server settings should be, on the Network tab, select a protocol, click Configure, and then select Autodetect proxy settings or Use proxy settings of the Web browser (available for HTTP protocol only).
If you are connected to the Internet through a dial-up connection, you might not be able to choose the proxy server. For more information, consult your Internet service provider (ISP) or network administrator.
If an internet connection isn't fast enough or stable enough to handle a video stream, then it's possible for errors like this to show up. To rule out this problem, could you right click on the video link in the gallery and choose "save target as..." and save the video to your computer. If you're able to open the saved video then your internet connection may be the problem.
Ok, I was able to save and open the video.
I don't know, everything starts to work very slow when i go to the gallery. Icons for the different videos takes several minuttes to load/show.
I'll contact the cablecompany. I'm supposed to have a 2 Mb connection, but it's loading 100 K/s.
I have problems with Brian Manzellas videoanswers as well. Sound is very strange.
And Powerdraw, are you working on your postcount or just being a m....

Thom, Thanks for testing that for me. If you were able to download and play the videos then I suspect there may be something going on with the stability of your connection. 100K/s sounds pretty fast; how long does it take you to download a video from this site? Even if speed is good, you can have dropped packets (think static on a phone line) that can mess up streaming video/audio.
In case your cable company isn't giving you good answers, you can do a little self-investigation here:
I'm also having problems with the videos. When I try to Save Target As, I get a File Download dialog box that says "Getting File Information," which is where I get stuck. Connection speed shouldn't be an issue (downloading at the office), but maybe there's a firewall issue on my end? Any ideas?
