trying to view webcam over internet

Miss_Cinnabon

I saw a site which has a webcam showing eagles nesting but i can't seem to access the picture, all i get is flashing colours and a blurred image of the eagle, what am i doing wrong.

Is this normal or not?

Any help?

The address would be handy. That way someone else can take a look and see if they experience the same thing as you.

No problem for me.
Just have to sit through 30sec advert.
Eagle doesn't do much though (;o)

Oh yeah. I must say you're not missing much. There's a bird (white head with white extending down to its cheast) sat in a nest looking left to right). I wouldn't mind seeing what he was looking at... but I'm curous like that

Anyway, I'm using Opera Browser 8.53 and all is well.

Also checked Firefox browser 1.0.7

Also checked Internet Explorer ver 6.0.2

and have Windows Media Player 8 with WMP 9 Codec installed. I suspect that this maybe your problem if you are receiving a distorted image. That or you aren't using broadband and am experiencing a problem with streaming the image. If this is the case then you could goto Windows Media Player and in the Options there is a setting to Increase the Buffer size. I sugest you do this and try again. If that fails, update your version of Windows Media Player.

HTH

You're welcome, glad you got there in the end. I hope you find the view from the cam more appealing than we did
