The problem with the desktop video player is that it loads the entire video before playing. That's why on some of the longer videos it takes an age for the video to start playing, but considerably less so on a short video like above.
You can download the direct MP4 file if you want to know when the video actually will finish downloading by quoting the post and copying and pasting the video URL.
Must say David you're not offering the most viewer friendly solution for your videos - people are struggling to get them to work. Youtube does work much better for embedded clips.
They do work for me eventually in Chrome.
Isn't there a way on youtube where you can upload the clips but hide them from the results and the copyright police?
I usually put in block capitals that i own nothing and where the content has come from and so far my BB clips that i've shared in this thread have been ok.

By using the video player in the forum and the Metropol Upload Service, he can circumvent automatic flagging of his videos and the closure of his account if he accrues too many.
I'd rather have to make a little effort in loading the videos than have David's excellent Avago videos be removed from YouTube.

Usually the metropol vids aren't a problem but for some reason or other (are they really long clips?) they're not really working here.
The quoting is a good solution though. With Youtube it is possible to set the vids so only those with the links can see them and they won't turn up in searches.
Was this set up just for that bit or would the news have always come from there?
I'm sure I remember an earlier, wider shot of the Big Breakfast News studio which showed Phil Gayle broadcasting from the old ITN studio for ITV's bulletins...
I think they used the old ITV News studio (as above) for a long time but they may have moved from there around the same time as the ITN News Channel launched.
The studio Carol is in looks very much like the basement studio at Channel 4's Horseferry Road headquarters. I can't see how that would be the case though. Maybe a live link was set up at a facility closer to Carol's home for that week?
Wasn't The Big Breakfast News usually entirely CSO/Chromakey with graphics animating behind the presenters with sound stabs. As such it could have come from any ITN studio with a green-screen/blue-screen position suitable for an MCU?

Very true, in fact I think I remember seeing on one of those 'It Shouldn't Happen To A Newsreader" programmes Jasmine Lowson in the Channel 4 News studio in front of a blue screen.
Actually thinking about it logically, I seem to remember that the same team that produced the overnight and morning ITV News bulletins were also the team behind The BB's News, so it would be logical that it came from the morning news studio... (Studio 3?)
