The point of all Vonage videos is that it makes no sense........just like having a POTS and paying high telephone bills.......get it?

Did anyone else notice the typo?

"Like pay to much for phone service".

This is the incorrect form of "to". It should actually be "too".

I guess paying a lot for phone service isn't the only dumb thing people do Smile

Whoever made that "ad" should not quit their day job in the hopes of getting a marketing position. That is, of course, presuming they have a day job to quit.

The music might be annoying, but it works.

As for the ad, I do not like it.

I am very experienced at web video (at least I consider myself to be)... Cool

*The main problem most people have when trying to watch embedded videos in web pages is that they don't have a clue about the 100's of junk media players that are out there these days, not to mention the video codec's, format issues, different browsers people use, etc...
I am a tech by trade and have seen this question 1000's of times. I will try to explain it in the easiest way possible so hopefully everyone can understand why some are seeing the videos and some are not.
-----------------------
1. You may have too many media players installed and they are all fighting over each other to be the default player... This is the biggest problem.

2. Most websites these days use mainly 4 types of formats to stream video, Windows Media Player, QuickTime for Apple, Flash video geared mainly for all browsers, PC's and Macs, or Real Player. *Each of these players have their own built in codec’s (Codec’s are basically the root files that decode and create the video that you see depending on what format the video is rendered or encoded too. These players, and ALL other players if not tweaked and simply installed by clicking next, next, next, finish will always try and be the default player from then on for web media or local hard drive media. *You need to pick the one that you like the best and force it to be the default player for the file types you want to be associated with it! *It's a little bit of work tweaking each player’s settings, but will pay off immediately once you do it. Wink

*Real Player and Quiktime for windows are the worst going thew all the settings, but once you do it, your done! Wink

3. Some internet browsers will not run streaming video very good or sometimes not at all! *I have found that a properly configured and fully updated XP system with the new IE7 browser installed and windows media player 9 or higher works best for web videos. *If you have not run a windows update in while, you may need to run it! Get and install everything it shows... Thank good old Bill Gates for that one!.. But it has to be done if you run a Windows XP system! Rolling Eyes

4. If you have many media players installed that you never use, uninstall them. You really only need the top 4 (Windows media player, Apples QuickTime, Real Player for those real media files, and of course the latest version of Flash).

5. Your internet security, firewalls, pop-up blockers, active-x control settings, Anti-Virus or Adware removal settings may need some adjusting.

6. Last but not least and very uncommon these days, is your video card. *It may be outdated, not have the correct drivers installed or configured correctly.
----------------------

I hope this helps! Wink

I tried to keep it short and sweet as much as possible, but this is big issue these days for allot of people and just trying to help. Hope it does.... Good Luck!
