Just wondering if anyone else is have a problem watching the recorded version of the Video Tutorials. I find it difficult to attend the original Zoom presentations at night. I am in Rural NSW , have ADSL ( not NBN) and at night time the internet is SLOW. So I have attempted to watch the recorded videos . However I only get about 2 minutes into the video when the screen " greys out" and I get message " Video playback aborted due to network error". This happened when I was watching Members inspiring Members and the latest Lightroom training video. Is it my computer? ADSL or a gremlin ???
Hope someone can help as I do enjoy these tutorials

My guess is that your internet speed is not sufficient to watch the videos in real time. The grey bar immediately below the video frame is a link which will let you either open the video in your default player or save the video.file to your computer. Try the second option; when you are downloading the file the speed is not critical, After the file has finished downloading you can play it in your default video player.

Thanks for your help Rob but I guess my internet is just not quick enough. The video would not open in Quicktime Player so I tried to download the file but 1hr and 20minutes later it is still not finished downloading. I could read Martin Evenings book on Lightroom before it finished downloading. Back to the book!!!!

The Lightroom video file is about 360MB; so if you know what download speed you are getting you can calculate roughly how long it will take.
