Took about 30 seconds to display, but played really well once it was started.

Video quality is very good, way better than your average YouTube video.

It started and stopped several times for me. At the beginning, the download progress was ahead of the play point, but downloading slowed so that the play point caught up. The video stopped and it said "buffering" for 20-30 seconds each time. I gave up about a third of the way through the video.

I'm at a hotel, using WiFi in my room, so I made sure it wasn't the hotel which was the problem. While your video was trying to play, I opened a second tab in IE and went to YouTube. I was able to download and play a YouTube video just fine while yours continued to struggle.

I think the hardest part to get used to with your video was the Canadian accent.

Worked fine for me. Buffered for some 20-30 secs. But the delay could just be that it buffers quite a lot of the video, since I could skip parts without getting another "buffering" message.

I tried two times.
yesterday in the evening the video started immediately, and the download progress was well ahead of the play point here too. Far better initial buffering than youtube and the like (I'm on a 2Mo ADSL connection here only) and the image quality was great.
Unfortunately, at about 40% the playing point reached the end of the buffer, and for the rest of the video the download speed was horrible (like period of 2-3 sec of videos then 15-20 sec of buffer).
As a comparaison Youtube video playing point sometimes reaches the end of the buffer, but generally the playing point stay a little bit ahead.

This morning the video dont play with this error message : "NetStream.Play.StreamNotFound"

More interesting discoveries: the fullscreen option not working is happening because TinyMCE, the rich text control we use in our custom CMS, is maiming the code and removing it. Same thing happens with WordPress, because it uses the same text editor.
