It is a large file so I think you just need to wait. I will have another look tomorrow.

I just tested it again and it worked fine. Loaded in a couple of seconds from within the Swinburne network.

Please post a comment if anyone is having issues, even after waiting for a significant amount of time for the file to load.

so are you saying that the video is loading now but there is a problem with the code that it outlines? Please explain the problem clearly and include the browsers you have tried.

I suggest you try downloading the flv to your computer and running that.

File is called part 1 but it is actually part 2

I can't download the videos either. It's not my bandwidth. I've also tried downloading the .flv file but nothing happened... Shame because it looks good.
