Video Guides

[StuartDH]

We're looking to build a big library of Wild About Britain video guides to make it easier for new members to use the site, and enable all members to contribute to building webpages etc.

The first few videos can be found here:

http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/wildlife/video_guides

If yuo've got any ideas for other similar videos then please post them here and we'll start adding them to the list

Thanks

Stu

Have just been viewing these guides

They are fantastic and a great place to refer someone to who is struggling with a particular part of the sites facilities. I never saw this before on any other site.

For some reason I cannot view the videos. Do I need some extra software? I already have Quicktime Player and RealPlayer but I get to the page which says 'Click Here to view a larger (1024x768) version of this video' but no video, whether or not I click for the larger size.

Have you got the latest flash player Winnie? I believe it's in that format. It's a free download and can be got from:

I thought that at first but just click a couple of times on the screen and it will start.

There is a bit of a pause before it starts, if you see the smaller copy of the screen with the clipboard on it, then it's working!

Yes a brilliant idea indeed. No excuses now....I should be able to do everything right!
