When I try to register, I cannot scroll down to check the "I
Accept" box for the User Agreement. What should I do?
To properly display the site your screen resolution must be set to
1024 x 768 with 32 bit colors. Please reset you screen resolution and
complete your registration.
Why aren't the videos loading? Why do I see "Buffering"?
Unlike other video players you may use on the web, the ASD
Video Glossary is actually downloading 2 videos simultaneously.
This takes more time. Your connection speed to the Internet also plays
a role. Ideal performance is experienced with a broadband connection
using DSL, cable modem or T1 line. Dial-up and slower DSL connections
are not suitable for viewing the videos. If you are attempting to access
the ASD Video Glossary from within a business or institution,
the firewall settings may block you from viewing the videos. Please
contact your network administrator to trouble shoot your particular
situation.
Why can't I see the ASD Video Glossary in
my browser window?
You must use Internet Explorer version 6.0 or greater on a PC and Safari
version 2.0 or greater for Mac (Firefox & Netscape are not supported).
My screen is entirely black
and no video is playing. What should I do?
In order to view streaming video, your browser
must be set up to allow Active X controls. This can be accomplished
by following these steps:
-
Within Internet Explorer, click on "Tools" (which is located on the top of the screen) and select "Internet Options."
-
Click on the "Security" tab
-
Click on the "Internet" icon.
-
Move the slider on the bottom left of the window until your security level is "Medium".
or
Select the "Custom level..." button, then scroll down to
the "Scripting" section and ensure that "Active Scripting" and "Scripting
of Java applets" are enabled.
-
Click "Apply" (located on the bottom right side of the window).
-
Click "OK."
Why are the video player screens
green?

I clicked on a link from the Glossary of
Terms and the ASD Video Glossary did not appear?

May I use your video clips in a presentation
I am giving?
While we cannot give you permission to "download" any video clips
from the ASD Video Glossary, you are
more than welcome to link your PowerPoint presentation directly to the ASD
Video Glossary on the Internet. You can embed a link into your
PowerPoint presentation (or, if you are not using a PowerPoint presentation,
you can login directly to the ASD Video Glossary).
If you are going to present from a new computer, be sure to login before
your presentation, so you don't have to do it during the presentation. Your
link should go right to the ASD Video Glossary. You
will need to then select the exact spot within the site you want to go
(e.g., Social Interaction, Nonverbal Behavior, clips #1) and you can list
the target spots in your presentation as a reminder to yourself. The best
performance will be with a wired connection, not wireless. You should rehearse
and view all the video clips you plan to use in your presentation in advance
and remember not to turn off your computer, cut off the Internet connection,
or move from the site between rehearsal and presentation time. This way, the
video clips will be cached and the "buffering" and screen load time
should be shorter.
