How to listen to abel prize lectures of 2007 in iceweasel. lectures are in mp4 format but are not opening even with vlc installed
I am trying to listen to some Abel Prize math lectures
the urls are located on these pages
http://www.abelprisen.no/en/multimedia/2004/index.html
I cannot listen to the lectures by atiyah, bismut singer or witten
or
http://www.abelprisen.no/en/multimedia/2007/index.html
or
http://www.abelprisen.no/en/multimedia/2005/index.html#
on the pages it says
All videos are MPEG4 (mp4) viewable by means of the free QuickTime (v.6.5) application.
Most videos are available in three qualities: double ISDN (112kbs), ADSL1 (384kbs) og ADSL2 (768kbs).
note the more recent lectures such as 2011 are available and fully watchable on the web page.
I have vlc installed but when i click on the lecture i get a black box in the left upper quadrant of the screen and no video.
when i right click and say show controls then it
shows the controls and says idle
but does not give me a forward button to play it.
thanks
Mitchell Laks
