We are Your Internet Fly Fishing Video Magazine

with Russ Webb and Rick Harding

We want everyone to have the opportunity to view some of our videos so we have decided to put up some free samples. The sample videos will be made up of some of the fishing footage we have used when editing our 'Now Showing' segments as well as a few smaller 'How To' pieces. This demonstrates our willingness to both entertain and inform.

Even if you don't subscribe, check back from time to time as we plan to change out sample videos to give out site a fresh look. The sample videos are shown in Medium Broadband and High Broadband. This gives prospective subscribers the chance to see which file size plays best on their computer system.

We plan to expand the smaller 'How To' segments to include many basic tying techniques, more knots and how to put together various fishing set ups.

About QuickTime Player?

This web site uses QuickTime Player, Apple's digital media software for playing and streaming audio and video content over the Internet. QuickTime is free of charge for anyone with a Mac or Windows-based computer.

QuickTime consists of a web-browser plug-in and a media player. Installation tips and a troubleshooting FAQ are included in the sections below.

Installing Quicktime

If you don't have QuickTime, you will need to download and install the QuickTime Player and browser plug-in from Apple Computer. The installation process will occur interactively, over the Internet.

Configuring Quicktime

When QuickTime components are installed, you will be guided automatically through a short configuration process. You will be asked to set a few options, such as your network connection speed. If you access the Internet from behind a firewall, you may also need to configure QuickTime for streaming [see FAQ item below for more information].

Troubleshooting FAQ's


1. When I try to view a movie, I see a broken plug-in icon.
2. I've installed QuickTime, but movies aren't playing.
3. I can't receive streaming video.
4. How do I troubleshoot QuickTime problems on Windows computers?

1. When I try to view a movie, I see a broken plug-in icon.
Have you installed QuickTime? If not, please visit the QuickTime web site to download and install. Accessing QuickTime media on this site without a browser plug-in should direct you automatically to the download page.

2. I've installed QuickTime, but movies aren't playing.
Are you connected to the Internet? If you have confirmed your Internet connection and are still having problems, access Apple's QuickTime installation check web page. This page will automatically detect if QuickTime is installed correctly. Also, check additional help resources at the Apple QuickTime support web site.

3. I can't receive streaming video.


There are QuickTime issues re: accessing streaming audio and video from behind a firewall. You might have this problem at home, for example, if you use access the Internet through a hardware router. A router is a device that allows multiple computers to share a single, high-speed Internet connection. The router's firewall software sometimes blocks the default port on which QuickTime streaming operates.

You will need to change the port on which you receive streaming video. Go to your QuickTime Settings control panel:

• Windows:  

Start Menu - Settings - Control Panels

• MacOS X:  

System Preferences

• MacOS:  

Apple Menu - Control Panels

Choose "Streaming Transport" popup menu selection. You can click the "Auto Configure" button, or – if you already know there is an issue with your firewall – you can simply click the "Use HTTP, Port ID: (80)" radio button. Doing so will allow QuickTime streaming on port 80.

4. How do I troubleshoot QuickTime problems on Windows computers?
Errors are usually related to software conflicts, unusable files, or incompatibilities. They can also be related to specific hardware combinations, and sometimes the way in which the hardware is configured. Check the technical hardware requirements on this page [listed above]. Also, check the Apple knowledge base article on this topic.

5. How do I troubleshoot browser plug-in problems?
Apple's web site has information on how to troubleshoot your browser plug-in.
