Same here.

"Welding the Big Ring" and "Automotive Service" worked fine for me.

In the first one watch how the guys use their sledge hammers!

 

[Robotstar5]

No luck here either

I've just tried them all, and each time I get a dialog asking me what I want to do with the file (Open in media player, save &c&c)

Using Mozilla Firefox with Win7 Home Premium SP 1
------------------------------------------------------------

Under Avant I have to right-click and use "Save Target As" otherwise I just get a blank screen.

Internet Explorer gives the same problem, with the same solution.

I've seen a lot of the smithing videos before, they show how things used to be done when man power was king. It's quicker to right click and download them and watch them.

Sorry about that. It depends how your computer / browser handles video files. Should have said.

Right click & save will work for everybody.
