The Barefoot Hawaiian Streaming Video Center proudly supports nearly every PC-Windows based and Apple Macintosh system currently in operation, including most legacy systems.   Our  video center also accepts most mainstream browsers with integrated support and will stream video efficiently even through dial-up connections.  The quality of the video that you can receive depends upon your system and Internet connection.  Make your configuration selection below:

Set or Change Your Video Capability Preference Here

Use the following guide in making your selection.   Note that choosing too high a setting for your system will result in poor performance or improper video.   Choosing a setting lower than your system can handle will simply result in receiving a lesser quality video.

• High Quality
  You may select this video preference if you have a fast computer and are on a premium-level broadband Internet connection.  This preference provides that highest quality video and audio in a large viewing window.  Video is rendered at broadcast-television quality with extremely smooth motion video.  Detail and motion is rendered best at this setting.
• Medium Quality
  This setting is designed for visitors on a basic or economy broadband internet connection.  It provides high-quality video and audio in a large viewing window but at a lower frame rate.  Detail is rendered well, but high-speed motion will not be as smooth as the High Quality setting.  This setting is also for use on slighter older or slower computers.
• Small Video
  This setting is designed entirely to accommodate our web site visitors on dial-up Internet connections.  Video is presented in a smaller window, at a low frame rate, and with lower quality audio.  The data stream is also highly-compressed in order to provide video to our visitor over dial-up connection speeds.  Understand that video normally requires large amounts of data and we provide this setting in order to accommodate our dial-up users, and that both video and audio quality will be reduced in order to serve you.  This setting is also recommended for users on older or legacy computers (even if you have a broadband connection) that do not play the higher quality video well.  Dial-up users, please note that it is normal for it to take 20 seconds or longer for the video stream buffer to fill before it can start playing the video.  On long videos (e.g., 5 minute videos) it can take up to 1-2 minutes for the stream to buffer.
• Remember My Setting
  When you check this box, we will remember your preference setting even after you leave this web site.  Hence, on your next visit to this web site and page, you will be able to immediately start viewing video without having re-specify your preference.  If you do not select this box, then you will have to specify your preference upon each visit to this page.

If you are having trouble receiving video and you are certain that you have made the correct selection, then proceed to the page to help SOLVE the problem, or to the SYSTEM page to make sure your system and it's configuration meets the requirement to play video.
