Game Film Gallery has the ability to use several different types of video files:
- When you click the “Watch Now” tab on a team page, you will view a flash
(.flv)version of your game. This type of file is much smaller so your computer will be able to play the video online. You may or may not be able to fast forward or rewind the file right away. If this occurs, you should open the game, pause it, and leave it for a few minutes. Doing so will allow your computer to download the information allowing you to pause, rewind, or fast forward the game as you wish. - When you click the “Download” tab on a team page, your computer will download the game to your desktop. This download may take a while due to the large size of these videos. These files
(.mpeg, .mov, .wmv, .avi)are exactly as they were uploaded by the coach or player. Quality may vary, based on the original source file, but in general these videos will be of very high quality and suitable for burning to DVD, depending upon the capabilities of your computer and software.
