Good


Comment2 James, March 31, 2007 at 5:32 p.m.:

This guy is good. I have forgotten my math but I still could follow his speech. I got it even if I didn't understood the mathematical notation...


Comment3 Danny, April 5, 2007 at 4:25 p.m.:

Why is there no sound when I play this usind Window Media player 11?


Comment4 Sped, April 14, 2007 at 6:46 p.m.:

Nothing happens when I click on the thumbnails. :(


Comment5 Mikel, April 15, 2007 at 5:14 a.m.:

No sound with WMP 11


Comment6 Mikel, April 15, 2007 at 7:44 a.m.:

For those having trouble with WMP, try opening the video via Winamp or some other program such as VLC. Choose open URL and then put: mms://velblod2.ijs.si/pascal/2006/mlss06_taipei/roweis_sam/roweis_sam_00.wmv

I hope this helps.


Comment7 Peter Kese (staff), April 15, 2007 at 1:10 p.m.:

Regarding the sound issues...

We have found out that a possible cause could be the Windows Media Player 11 issues with videos with Mono sound. If you are experiencing the same problems while playing videos on http://www.cnn.com/ than that may be it.

Please check the following web pages for a solution

If you find a solution, please let is know so we can share it with others or fix something on the VideoLectues site (if applicable).

Sam has done amazingly good job at explaining topic in a very simple manner!


Comment13 jbgao, April 14, 2008 at 9:07 a.m.:

Can any one tell me what is the best way to download the wmv file so that I don't need to be online every time when I want to watch it?

it seems to me the link simply invokes media player to play without a way to save the file.

Many thanks

Jbgao
