Hear Audio, No Video?
There are a few things you can do to enhance
your video experience. Poor sound/video quality, excessive buffering,
and lack of a video signal are usually due to a computer resource issue.
Try not to run other applications while playing videos. If you are
accessing ParkviewMedia.org through a LAN (Local Area Network), you may
experience excessive buffering or connectivity delays as a result of the
number of users and/or PCs on your LAN.
If full screen video is not up to your satisfaction, please return to
the reduced video screen by hitting the escape button (Esc) on your
keyboard. |

Connection Type
The videos on ParkviewMedia.org are
streaming content:
Streaming is a method of delivering media
files over the Internet. Instead of a full file being downloaded to
a hard drive before it can be opened or played, streaming allows you
to pass a steady amount of information from a server to a browser.
Your internet connection determines
whether you will have full playback or choppy playback. Because of the
large file sizes, most videos here take a while to load. Most file sizes
are 95Mb - 100Mb.
We recommend an internet connection of
DSL or greater. If you are connected using a dial-up modem or ISDN, it
will take a long time for the video to stream.
If you are connected using DSL, Cable,
Satellite, T1, T3 or wireless, you have a connection speed that supports
ParkviewMedia.org. There are a few things you can do to enhance your
video experience. Poor sound/video quality, excessive buffering, and
lack of a video signal are usually due to a computer resource issue. Try
not to run other applications while playing videos. If you are accessing
ParkviewMedia.org through a LAN (Local Area Network), you may experience
excessive buffering or connectivity delays as a result of the number of
users and/or PCs on your LAN. |

Speaker Settings
When congregational singing is recorded, we
use two channels - or stereo. The left channel is specifically
designated for the congregation and the right is designated for the
leader. During the editing process, we lower the leader's singing and
increase the congregation singing to give you a better a capella
experience.
For this to work properly, you must have
both left and right speakers attached to your computer with both left
and right channels turned on. To check this, open your Sound
and Audio properties located in the Control Panel. |
