Video on blog

Body: 

Can anyone tell me how to view a video on the blog. When I press the icon ,something called KALTURA opens up and says prices to join start at $750.00. ??

Try a different browser. Lots of problems like this on the site lately, I bring them to Lanny's attention when I spot them but I know it's complicated and they are so busy with hips project at the moment.

The Balance clip runs for me in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, but not in Safari on my iPad. It also doesn't run for me in Chrome (thought I'm not sure my Chrome is up to date). Surviving

Thank you for your reply Surviving. You seem to be a little more computer savvy than I am. so perhaps you can tell me, "is it possible to download Internet Explorer or Firefox onto an Apple iPad? Or does it only accept Safari? I only have an iPad no regular computer and when I try the free downloads, nothing happens for either one of them.

No, you can't do that unfortunately. I will give them a heads-up about this one. They are generally able to trouble-shoot this situation but not always right away. Especially now in the midst of finishing up Hips. Stay tuned.... - Surviving

hi all,

when the iphone and ipad were released, apple announced that they would not support flash video. unfortunately, virtually all online video was in the flash format. the emerging standard, which hadn't really taken off was HTML5 which apple supported. this was a good move on apple's part, but it caught the world relatively unprepared. in the ensuing years, HTML5 has become well established and all our newer videos are transcoded into HTML5 so they are playable on apple mobile devices. however, some of our older videos have not been transcoded into HTML5. the reason is that when a video is shot, all the raw footage gets assembled in the editing and post production process into the final video which is rendered into a MOV file which we upload to our content distribution network, where it is transcoded into both flash and HTML5 formats in different resolutions. this is done so that when you click on a video, the system determines how fast your internet connection is and the delivers a video of an appropriate resolution so that it plays smoothly. however, due to a hard disk crash a couple of years ago, we lost some of the MOV files for some of the videos. we have the raw footage, but rebuilding the final video is very time consuming and it hasn't been a priority. as a result, there are still a few videos on the whole woman site that won't play on apple mobile devices. we'll get them all squared away eventually, but we are still pressing hard on getting Save Your Hips released, so it may be early next year before we get them all completed. hope this helps.

all the best,

Wow things are easy when you understand them and mind boggling when you don't. The part I do get is that having just an iPad at the moment isn't doing the trick. I am wondering Lanny if it would be possible to purchase that 'BALANCE' video as a DVD? I would be happy to pay the cost to transfer it onto a DVD AND maybe I am not alone in having only an iPad and wishing it was available as a DVD.

Hi All

You might be able to get access to a PC at a public library or community centre, so you can view the video on one of the browsers that do work. Or a friend or family member might be able to allow you to view it on their PC.

Thanks Louise. I really think I need to have the video in front of me to do the exercises. At my age the old memory ain't what it used to be and to view it and then go home and remember it by heart would truly be asking for a miracle. I'll put that on hold till Lanny has a spare moment to answer and get onto watching my 2 new DVD's that just arrived. Going to start with making the seed cheese. Just the name 'cheese' gets me excited! Best regards F2B
