Hi Don,
I clicked on your link 3 times and the video began playing each time. Using 
Jaws 9 here--not the current but the earlier release of Jaws 9 and I E 7. After 
the video began playing I at first had no controle of the virtual cursor but 
routed the Jaws cursor to the P C cursor and virtual P C cursor controle 
returned and I could arrow through all the 500 plus links though needless to 
say I only tried a few but see no reason why the others would not have worked. 
Significantly though, the video clip did work.

Hi Don.  I was able to hear the video.  But, I had trouble with the page. 
My system became very sluggish while the video was running.  I didn't think 
the virtual PC cursor was working so I went to the Jaws cursor.  Surprising 
that I could move through all the links on that page with the Jaws cursor, 
and there are a lot.  But, the position of the Jaws cursor hardly moved 
while doing this.

I thought the video was probably slowing my system down so I tried stopping 
it with escape which worked.  Then I was able to get the virtual pc cursor 
working.  I found some clickable volume and transport controls at the bottom 
of the page.  Slash and shift slash would move between these clickable 
elements but they don't show up in the clickable elements list 
insert+control+slash.

See if you can find the play/pause element at the bottom of the page.

I wonder what player is being used.

At first, I thought it was bypassing the windows mixer because I couldn't 
adjust the volume.  Then I remembered that my default sound device is the 
SRS Sandbox so the system sounds and videos were going through that mixer 
which happened to be set very low.

Bob
