May 18, 2007 **//Buffering and Full Screen Button//** The presentation of Unitedstreaming videos appears to have changed a little. In trying to find out what is going on, here are some things we do know… The videos come up in Windows Media player windows now. Here is a screen shot of where the FULL SCREEN button is… Also under the viewing screen on the Unitedstreaming site are some radio button choices under Player Selection: Why do this? I’m not exactly sure…it may have something to do with the formatting…we were advised by Unitedstreaming to tell you this! Unitedstreaming did advise us that to circumvent the buffering issue that seems to be very prevalent right now. Download the videos before showing. You may want to experiment with these issues BEFORE someone needs it for something important!! We are continuing to work on why things have changed and how to get around the buffering issue.
 * BUFFERING** has seemed to become a “problem” on a large scale once again.
 * Embed in web browser**: Select this if you are downloading the video to put in Powerpoint or some other application.
 * Stand Alone Application**: Select this if you are downloading the video to a HD for playing from that HD. (i.e. you are not saving to put into PPT.)

It is possible to show [|United Streaming] videos in a full screen mode. To do so, you need to check the button below the movie that says **Stand Alone Application**. The movie will then be played in Quicktime or Windows Media Player depending on file format instead of within the webpage. By going to the **View** menu and selecting **Full Screen** or by simply resizing the video window of these players, you can make the movie larger. Do remember that quality of the image suffers when enlarging. Try a number of sizes to see which gives the best balance of size and clarity. **//From Blue Skunk//**
