The site uses a flash video player. It will take around 12 seconds to load a video, and the player continues to load the video while you’re watching.  This is called a “progressive download.”

If the video has to re-load while you’re watching it, press the pause button and let the program load a little longer before you play the program again. You’ll see a light grey bar extend from left to right as the video loads.

Here’s a sample from the post “The Alpine Adirondacks.” Once it has loaded initially, play it and see how it functions!
