I get to the video screen OK --- there's a large greenish sideways
triangle waiting to be clicked on. I do so; there's a message that
says it's downloading, with a little progress bar. That seems to
complete quite rapidly. Then nothing for a while. Then an error
message on the video screen saying ``Fatal error --- video source
not ready.'' Then that error message goes away. Long wait. Then
I get audio, but never any video. Give up.
I'm using Firefox on an Imac; the ``About Mozilla Firefox'' button
on the Firefox dropdown menu says I've got Mozilla 5.0, Firefox 2.0.0.2
--- whatever that means.
Bottom line --- I can't watch the video.
But that's the story of my life. ***Nothing*** ever works for me! :-)
Except R, which *mostly* works.
cheers,
Rolf Turner

Since Sundar beat me to it w/ Firefox 3 test, I checked with IE 7.0 -
works fine for me there also.

Interesting! I'm using Iceweasel 2.0.0.19 (Firefox under another
name) on Linux. I'll have to check out what blocks it has activated!
I put on a fragrantly scented facemask and started IE up on Windows.
Going to the same URL, I now find a big "video screen" just below
the line:
The R and Science of Predictive Analytics: Four Case in R -- The Video
And it duly plays.
But at the same place in my Firefox, I only see a little button
inviting me to "Get Adobe Flash Player". But I already have that
installed for Iceweasel!. Well, maybe it needs updating. Let me
try that ... It says "Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.22.87" and
I have flashplayer_9 already there, so ... (some time later) I now
have flashplayer_10 installed, but I still get the same result.
Hmmm ....
Well, thanks for helping to locte what the problem might be!
Ted.

Could be that you have some sort of ad filter in your browser that's
blocking the video? It appears just fine for me in Firefox 3.

Best,

It could be very interesting to watch that video! However, I have
had a close look at the web page you cite:
_http://www.lecturemaker.com/2009/02/r-kickoff-video/
and cannot find a link to a video. Lots of links to non-video
things, but none that I could see to a video.
There is a link on that page at:
_How Google and Facebook are using R
_by Michael E. Driscoll | February 19, 2009
_<http://dataspora.com/blog/predictive-analytics-using-r/>
Following that link leads to a page, on which the first link, in:
_<(March 26th Update: Video now available)>
_Last night, I moderated our Bay Area R Users Group kick-off
_event with a panel discussion entitled "The R and Science of
_Predictive Analytics", co-located with the Predictive Analytics
_World conference here in SF.
leads you back to where you came from, and likewise the link at
the bottom of the page:
_<A video of the event> is now available courtesy of Ron Fredericks
_and LectureMaker.
Could you help by describing where on that web page it can be
found?
With thanks,
Ted.
