I find it often works better to
Save each Target link on my hard drive,
rather
than to Open it directly in the Web Browser. That way I often can get more
options for better viewing. To do it, Right-click on the video link
and select "Save Target As", then Open Folder on your hard drive now
containing the video file, then Right-click on the saved video file
and select Open With, and select your favorite viewing program. I
often find it helpful to use "single frame advance" viewing to analyze videos.
Two programs which I've used for this are
Apple QuickTime,
newer versions of Windows Media Player (older versions don't offer this
function), and Dell PowerDVD.
