| How to View Recommendation for slow dial-up modem connections (phone line): It's a large download so expect at least 15 minutes for Real or regular WIndows Media. To save the movie without viewing it now, right click (note: use right mouse button) on your preferred video format and choose "Save Target As" or "Save Link Target As" in the popup window. Save the file in a place you'll easily find it, such as My Documents, Desktop, My Videos, etc. Take a break (walk the dog or have coffee) during the download. Another option is to leave the computer on overnight and start the download before you go to bed. You can have more than one movie download at a time, but I'd recommend no more than 1 or 2 at a time. You can use the high speed / quality / resolution version since you'll sleep through it anyway. Warning: If you just click the link / button directly using a slow connection, you'll get long pauses, skipping, and jerkiness in the playback. |

| Recommendation for high-speed connections,
such as cable modem or DSL: Just left click on your preferred video format. To save the file once your movie player is already open, use the "file" menu"on the player to "Save" the movie. Another option for saving the file is the right click method described above. |

| Screen size and sound: The videos are designed to be seen at a size of 320x240 pixels, which is about the size of the screenshot shown below. Film quality degrades if larger window sizes are used. Some people don't mind the quality when size is doubled, but I don't suggest full screen. All movies have sound, so turn on / off your speakers, however you prefer.
