The presentation is quite long; please also check to make sure you don’t have the HD flag in the upper-right of the video frame turned on if you’re having issues with load times.

HD makes sense only in full screen mode. Turning on HD in current width =600 px dimension does not increase quality, because it already downloads the best quality for w=600 px. So our default is actually equivalent to youtube’s HD.

HD is very bandwidth intensive, requiring about 3 Mb/sec connection and a fast CPU to process it.

As a non-nerd, and part of that group of over 50 (way over) I found this very interesting as to what and how mozilla is and does. I will use it more now and bring some of your companies methods and ideas to my business and life. I find listening to some of the young people in business today inspirational and listening to John Lilly was great.
Thanks

It’s a quality thing, although if it’s taking a ridiculous amount of time, check in the upper-right-hand corner of the video embed and (if it’s on) turn the HD playback off to save yourself some bandwidth.

Is there a specific point in this video at which this always happens?

Wow, I like but the video interupts the audio and I cant hear all of the talk at all. Suggest you make an audio only link. I have dedicated medium fast DSL and this video is almost useless.

IT is still misunderstood by too many people. What a lesson for a newcommer like me!
Great presentation by Mr. Lilly.

Old fashion politicians should be shaking in their boots…

The web will make the world a better place…assuming we have freedom of speech around the world.

Us older folks must pay attention to the youth…they can get us fully engaged.

Great job!!!

I just checked the video to see if this would happen, but it hasn’t.

After reloading the page or restarting your browser, are you still having trouble viewing the video?

I love the fact that Mozilla gives credit where its due and this goes a long way to uphold the spirit open source

Hello,
it was really nice to listen to John’s presentation. Honest and true about marketing and kind of organization for a large community like Mozilla and Firefox itself. FF3.5 is the browser which you really want to use – well done Firefox!
