What is the minimum connection speed I need?

Because we do offer video content, this site is not for those who have a dial up connection.  We offer many bitrates so you can play the videos at a variety of connection speeds.  Our player will automatically adjust to your speed or you can manually change it with the player controls. 
Here are the various resolutions we offer and the corresponding connection speeds you will need for optimal viewing.  To check your connection speed, we recommend speakeasy.net/speedtest
 
Download speed:

  • .5 - .6 Mbps - low resolution
  • .6 - .9 Mbps - medium resolution
  • .9 - 1.2 Mbps - high resolution
  • 1.2 Mbps and up -  high definition

My video keeps buffering and won't play smoothly. What should I do?

Ideally your PC or Mac should have a high speed broadband connection from your internet provider. The player is set to detect your connection automatically and give you the best picture based on your speed.  However, if you connection speed fluctuates (you will see this with wireless broadband cards), then it could cause unwanted buffering while it tries to adjust for the changes in speed.  In this case, you can easily change it manually. 

At the bottom of the player you will see a box with a letter.  Click this to select and play at a specific resolution and not auto-adjust. 

change resolution

You can change this as often as you like until you get a good resolution for your connection speed. 


Can I download a video to watch on my computer?

For copyright purposes, the videos are not available for download. They can be viewed online only, but we do stream all videos to help provide a seamless viewing experience for almost any connection speed. We recommend viewing the videos in the Free Video section prior to subscribing to determine if they play to your satisfaction given your connection speed.


Can I preview a video before becoming a member?

Yes. All of our videos have previews except the free videos which you can watch in their entirety.

I just joined as a monthly member. Why can't I view all the past months' videos?

Once you are a monthly member you may watch any of the current month's available videos as many times as you like.  This continues as long as you remain a member. As months pass, and new video collections appear, your past months’ videos will be archived, and you will be able to view them whenever you want.  If you are interested in videos that appeared in months prior to your sign-up as a member, you can purchase them individually or as entire monthly collection set at a significant discount.
