Just a note you may want to pass onto others. I have a cable internet connection, and I was wondering why I was having problems getting the 'Grand Rounds' QT video to play. Well, I have had this problem in the past on other multimedia sites, and found it was my firewall that slowed down, or prevented me from viewing the stream.
So, for now I have to shut my firewall down on certain sites when I view multimedia components. (I.e. QuickTime, Windows Media, etc.) If people can't do that, or are uncomfortable doing so, it may be best for them to contact their firewall software manufacturer.
Hope that helps :-)
