How come I only get to see the first 5 minutes of it?

As I said great video - but the cliff hanger is unbearable. How come I only get to see the first 5 minutes of it?

.....Ah you need a specialized video player plug-in for it to work and be able to see the full video. Which is a shame really... Youtube videos are available for all - regardless of membership. VeoH needs a membership to access the entire movie. Ok, install the player software.

I have some gripes with Veoh. The web-player nestles inside your browser and is constantly running - possibly slowing down the system unnecessarily. Then there are the nasty pop-ups that appear when to access the Veoh site. Hmmm and then I cannot watch Bills video. Whats that all about? A little googling and wiki searching made it all clear.... I feel a headache coming on...

Big Brain: Big Brain 64x64 pixels The copyright monster / regional access control rears its ugly head yet again. So there is no way for me to comment on the second part of the video - a major non-US viewer - cliffhanger here.

It appears that despite being available world wide in the past VeoH has become very US-Centric and started to discriminate non-US viewers. In late May 2008, Veoh discontinued service in a lot of countries. The company stated that the decision was made in order to focus on the more than 33 markets in which it has the most viewers - say whaaat? Without prior notice, users from these countries were denied the ability to backup the contents they have contributed to the website. As of June 2008, visitors (IP addresses) in the vast majority of countries, including Asia, portions of Europe, Africa, Central America, and South America, have reported being blocked or experiencing a similar message for their region.

According to Wikipedia, users report being blocked from Lebanon, the United Arab Emirates, Malaysia, Indonesia, Chile, Argentina, St. Kitts and Nevis, Guatemala, Luxembourg, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Guam, Jamaica, Barbados, El Salvador, Hungary, Malta, Macedonia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Ukraine, Colombia, Cyprus, Romania, the Cayman Islands, Guadeloupe, Saudi Arabia, Peru, Panama, Czech Republic, Turkey, Croatia, Lithuania, Jordan, Egypt, Bulgaria, Serbia, Iceland, Bermuda, Thailand, Brunei, Honduras, the Bahamas, Nicaragua, Anguilla and Guyana. Well the Netherlands are not listed but accessing video from my home is not possible.

For NON-US readers I would not recommend installing VeoH on your systems as it will only hog resources and you will NOT get anything out of it apart from 404-errors stating that the selected video is unavailable!

Bill you really need to try something else here! :-(

Bill can't you edit out some of the pauses and transitions? Then you'll be able to get it down to 10 minutes and post in on Youtube or some other freely accessible webmovie host and have it available for all to see.
