What BROWSER are you using?
Upgrade your Flash, Quicktime and IE armor
Starting this year, Big Impact Films will begin using H.264 encoding on its video previews. What does that mean in non-geek speak? Your previews will only be half the download size while looking twice as good. You will need Flash version 9.0.115.0 or higher (the latest version is 10.0.12.36), and the latest Quicktime Plug-in for your browser.

About your browser, software and plug-ins.
Internet Explorer 6 or lower is out. Don’t use it. Why? Other than PC World Magazine ranking in the 8th worst tech product of all time, here are the top 5 reasons to upgrade:
1. Security continues to be an issue with this legacy browser. We want people browsing to be safe!
2. It's slow. Too slow. It's orders of magnitude slower than modern, efficient browsers.
3. It's non-standards compliant. This means our developers have to develop an almost completely different version of Big Impact Films to run on it.
4. It doesn't properly support cool new functionality that you are asking for, and we want to deliver.
5. Alternatives are free, fast and easy to download:
6. My recommended browsers are Firefox 3 and Google Chrome for Windows users. And Safari 3.2 for Mac users.
TIP: Also remember to make sure your Virus Protection settings are NOT set too high so as to block the active X and plug-ins needed to run on our website. This is the most common mistake computer users make. Please make sure your web browser’s active X features are enabled.
Neglecting to upgrade your software is like choosing to face the enemy with a cardboard shield and a paper sword when you could have the latest Kevlar vest and ray gun. Just upgrade already!
