while i normally wouldnt post it, being bombarded with 8 vids that auto load when you hit that page isnt very nice web behavior.

for those of you NOT on uber speady connections i provide you with this

Index of /media

thats his directory were the vids are hosted. you should be able to right-click-save-as to save them and download them to watch all at once instead of waiting for the site (hosted off of yahoo pages with limted bandwith) to stream them to your puter.

Thanks for that link, I thought the problem was on my end so I didn't get to watch any of them.

Thanks, I was just thinking the same thing. Why are all the videos trying to load and play at the same time!?!?!

IMHO his website is home created. He likely used an off the shelf softwere to embed the videos. Unfortunately he didnt get one of the settings right (likely didnt know about it) and they are set to autostart when you load the page.

dispite the fact that autostart=false i belive there is an error with that activex control.... but really in todays webpage world most people are getting away from activex calls because of the unscecured vulinurablities in activex. I disable it in firefox, and when i couldnt get the movies to play, i just went looking for them on the site.

If ya'll want to see something funny, watch the one about getting unstuck.
He starts it about 5 times because he keeps making mistakes

In all fairness though, he also discusses using the right safety equipment in that one also, including hearing and eye protection, gloves and chaps.
