I'm going to give my computer a good kicking!

All day I've been looking forward to watching 'Born of Hope'. The frustration of having to wait until I got home has been almost unbearable. But finally got to sit myself down in front of the computer, only to find that it won't stream. Six times I've tried to watch it and I've got no further than 3 minutes 18 seconds into it. In fact it has cut out at exactly the same place on three occasions. I'm so furious with my stupid computer feel like taking a sledge hammer to the darn think [something I did once do to a mobile phone which let me down once too often. It was enormously satisfying and the phone never pissed me off again, I can tell you!] Quite what is wrong with it I don't know but I'm going to have to abandon my attempts to watch the movie until this is sorted out as I don't want to watch it in little snatches. It sounds too good for that.
*big sigh* I'll just have to be patient a bit longer and perhaps I even ought to made it up with the computer. I have called it rather a lot of names tonight!

Arrrghhh!!!!! That is so immensely frustrating! I'm not sure how that website streams. I know with youtube, I can let it fully load and then it plays without a problem, but I don't know if this movie is buffered like that. I had a bit of a problem at times with it--at one point the sound arrived a little later than the picture so things were a little out of sync. And then the last 15 minutes or so the sound was fine but the picture was just a teeny bit herky-jerky.

The internet, for all its wonders, isn't really quite the best carrier of films quite yet.

I was rather afraid this would happen though I had hoped I would get there eventually. I'll just have to keep trying. It's a shame we can't download it properly really.

I guess they don't want to issue it as a download because of piracy issues. I can see someone trying to sell DVDs of it. But it would make it easier, if it were available as a download.

I'm sure you're right but it does seem a shame that then they've put so much effort into it, the actually watching is so difficult.
