We are working to make our video and audio
files available using windows media player. We are also exploring the
use of POD casting.
At the present time a broadband internet connection
is required.
What can be done with Gamaliel Video at the present time?
Our videos can be viewed on your computer. You must have speakers or headphones to hear the sound track.
Our videos can be viewed in a group setting using a digital video projector. Here is what is necessary:
A video projector
A computer with a broadband internet connection
If necessary, a way to amplify the sound
either by a direct connection from the speaker output on the computer or
sometimes placing a microphone near the computers speaker. This
should be set up and test ahead of time to make sure it is working!
Some congregations have projections systems connected to the internet.
Our video can be viewed there.
If you have you receive a "Connection to server has timed out" message, Please trouble shoot your RealPlayer setting by following these instructions:
You may be experiencing network problems.
RealPlayer stopped receiving information from the server
for an extended period and could not maintain the connection. The
problem could be caused by excessive network traffic on either the
Internet or a local area network (LAN) connection. This is very common
with modem users as those connections are much slower than cable or DSL.
To minimize this error, make sure your bandwidth setting is correct,
increase your RealPlayer time-out setting, or play the clip when the
network and Internet are not so busy. If you are on a dial-up
connection, consider upgrading to DSL or cable.
Solution 1: Test your connection speed.
1. In RealPlayer, click the Tools menu, and then select Preferences. The Preferences box opens.
2. In the Category pane, click Connection.
3. Click the Test Connection button, then the Perform Test button to determine your current connection speed.
4. Click the Update button to set your minimum bandwidth preference.
5. Click OK.
6. Try to play the clip again.
Solution 2: Increase the time-out settings, and try playing the clip again.
1. In RealPlayer, click the Tools menu, and then select Preferences. The Preferences box opens.
2. In the Category pane, click Connection.
3. Under Network Time-out, increase the time-out settings by 10 seconds.
4. Click OK.
5. Try to play the clip again.
6. If you still have problems, increase the time-out settings by another 10 seconds and try again.
Keep trying until the clip plays or it becomes obvious
that increasing the time-out settings will not resolve this problem.
Increasing this time also increases the time you wait for a time-out
message to appear.
Solution 3: Play the clip when the network and Internet are less
busy.
If you are unable to play the clip after trying these suggestions, try
connecting to the clip at a different time.
