So my wife downloaded Google Video player in order to view a clip she
paid for on their site.

Her G4/1.25 ghz machine with 768 megs of ram does not play the video..
It produces a black screen as if it is paused. If you click on the scene
browser it shows individual clips from the movie but won't play - it's as
if it's too slow or weak to process the video.

I also updated her Flash player and that should do the trick.

My own G5 2.5 dual plays it fine.

Ideas? If that's the kind of performance needed to play a simple video I'd
have to say it STINKS. I realize it's a beta but why charge people for videos
if they don't have their act together as far as their player.

Ideas on how to make it play? I'd expect this to be choppy on my old G4/400,
but not the 1.25 ghz machine.
