VIDEOS

NOTE - Windows Media Player required
If the video does not play, you most probably have an older version installed
Version #9 is necessary, and it can be downloaded for free by clicking here
* make sure your speakers are on

NOTE - these videos are in "WMV" format
They were in "Quick Time.mov" format with file sizes up to 35000Kb!!!
Each has been converted and encoded into this new format
but the file sizes are still large as they show Brett's complete at-bats
and vary from 1752Kb to 4847Kb
They are therefore more suitable for broadband/cable than when using a 56K modem
Be patient!!! - even with high speed downloading, it may take a minute or two
before the video plays
