    Problems?

    These are Flash videos, so you need to have a Flash player installed on your computer to see them. If you’re using an Apple iPad or iPhone, forget it, they can’t run Flash. For Windows, Linux, Android, and other Apples, you probably have it already, but if not, you can get the Adobe Flash player at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/.
