Videos of Medical & Scientific Presentations
Introduction
Videos were made, courtesy of Allergan, of the Medical and Scientific presentations. These videos have been converted to Flash movies which can be accessed from this page.
- The Adobe Flash Player must be installed on your computer. If you don't have Flash, it can be downloaded/installed from the Adobe site
- Javascript must be enabled for this site.
- Each video runs for 25-30 minutes
- The video files range in size from 80 to 190 MB so it will take 5 - 10 minutes to download via a high-speed Internet connection. However, it will stream which means that it will begin playing within a few seconds of the download commencing. Provided that your Internet connection downloads faster than the video runs, it should play smoothly without halting.
- If the video stops and starts, hit the pause button and do something else for a while until the video downloads - the time required will depend on the speed of your Internet connection.
- Once the video has completely downloaded, you can move backwards and forwards to any location by clicking on the progress marker and dragging it. However, if the movie runs right to the end, you will probably have to wait for it to download again before jumping to portions in the middle. If you think you may wish to move around within the video, you can avoid the above-mentioned problem by changing the Flash settings. After starting the video, click the pause button, right click on the video, select "Settings", click the folder icon in the "Adobe Flash Player Settings" window, drag the indicator all the way to the right so that the display shows "unlimited", click "Close", restart video.
- The video will play in the latest versions of Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Opera and Chrome.
- The default display size for this video is approximately 720 x 514 pixels. If you wish to view it at a larger or smaller size, use your browser's zoom feature.
- We can not offer technical assistance with getting these videos to run but we would like to get a feel for how many people can vs can not watch the videos. Use this feedback link to report.
