Video Download Hints:

The two stream options vary considerable in quality, in terms of video and audio.  The dial-up modem option is best for viewing with slow dial-up connections while the DSL/cable option is best for viewing with high speed connections.  For the best quality possible, select the mpeg download.  For all download formats, it is possible to save the video to your local drive prior to viewing ("right click" on the download link and select "save as").  Saving the video to a local drive (and not streaming the video) may provide better playback quality.  Caution: The MPEG videos are very large files (~100 MB).
