  1. Elizabeth, the file is an MP4, but you might need to download it to your computer instead of attempting to play it in your browser. I just tested the file by downloading it to my computer from the site and also running it in my browser…the browser view started off all black, but the video started up after a few seconds. The downloaded version worked perfectly from the first frame. Please try savig the file to your computer and let me know if you still have the same trouble.

  2. I downloaded the video with my membership and only have the audio, otherwise the screen is black. Any ideas on how to solve this owuld be appreciated!
