can't load mp4 in flash (ubuntu 11.04)


hi all,

i have been having difficulty loading a flash video on my ubuntu, from this page. i can load it up on my ipad, but not on my ubuntu or windows machines, or in any browser which i've tried.

from what i can tell, its because its an mp4, which flash wants to fully load before it can play. the site in question can be quite slow, so fully loading the video is a very slow process.

my firefox addon download helper cannot identify any media to download either. all i want to do is to load the videos from this site. any ideas please?

mp4 is not Flash.

MPEG-4 Part 14 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mp4

codecs - How to play .mp4 movies? - Ask Ubuntu - http://askubuntu.com/questions/22608...lay-mp4-movies

Try using the Flashgot extension to download the video.
