How do you get the complete videos when they stop before finished?
They stop only a minute or two into the playing.

With flip4mac the videos stop shortly after beginning , for example at
http://www.visual-voice.com/BNN/serieswindow.asp?series=16

The other videos stop within a minute or two as well....

Do you have the latest version of their codecs (version 2.0.2) ??

How do you determine that?...

Where do you look to determine the version of their codecs?...

       Hi Don,

You can select them in the Finder and press command-i.
The easiest way for you is to open the Flip4Mac WMV prefpane in the
System preferences and go to the Update section. You should be able to
check for updates from there,

It says, "Your software is up-to-date"

I had just installed it.

Cool, it's 2.0.2 then.
I wonder why you can't play movies from the beginning to the end then.
That was something I only saw in early versions of their software.
It could be something funky with the streaming files/server too :-\
I tried some of the links from the site and dhad the same problem with
them. It could be that on slower connections, once you catch-up with the
streaming, the connection is lost and fails to be re-established in
where you're at.
If you try to jump to a section further in the movie, the server never
delivers the data.

I don't have a PC I could try it on to be able to compare, but it looks
like an issue on their side.
Through the WMV prefpane, you can se-up the plug-in to open videos in QT
Player. If you try to do that and allow QT Player to download the entire
file before playing it, then it's not better: the file stops after a few
minutes. It really points towards something funky on the server.
