Downloads / videostreams are not working, what can i do?

In case you are using an AOL or Netscape Browser, please try with Internet Explorer or Firefox.
If the "download file" link is working but the video just won't play, make sure you have the latest required codecs installed. Please be aware *.avi videos need to be downloaded completely before they will start playing.

At the moment videos can't be played on Mac computers, this is an temporarly issue and will be fixed soon.
