AFM Videos The Leader in Football Education!

A. Watching AFM videos online is fairly simple, and only requires a modern web browser that will play HTML5 video, a PC, or MAC with a Hi Speed connection to the internet. Cable connections work better than DSL, because cable is faster and allows better streaming of the video file.



Check your Bandwidth
Our videos are encoded at 768Kbps this requires a hi speed internet connection.
Test your bandwidth: Click Here
This test will determine your bandwidth ability and does not take into effect network congestion which will dramatically reduce your ability to play the videos successfully. If your bandwidth shows up in the list at above 768Kbps then technically speaking you should be able to watch the videos un-interrupted. Often times even at higher bandwidth the video will stall or appear to freeze due to missing or interrupted video stream, most often caused by network congestion. If a video freezes during playback you should simply wait on the stream to resume, once the video stream has returned, the video will begin playing again.

Users with slow, or low bandwidth should wait before pressing play, this allows the video to begin downloading before playback is started. By waiting for several minutes your letting the movide download and can expect better playback, in extreme cases where bandwidth is very low, it is possible to let the entire video download before starting playback. Some of the longer videos can take over an hour to download on the low bandwidth connections, or connections with a lot of network congestion. The longer you wait the better the playback will be.

A. Coach,

AFM accepts this challenge. We have hundreds of members and no complaints, one coach in France is totally thrilled. We have our own hi speed dedicated server sitting on the backbone of the internet.

I have prepared a video for you to preview as our guest. Since you are a DC I thought you might like John Thompson and the 3-3 Gator video.

This is a temporary file that I will delete soon, so please let me know the results of your test.

Thank you,

Response from Coach Roberts:

It worked great! Thank you very much for letting me make sure it works before I sign up. It will be easier to convince my wife this is worthwhile since we know it works.

Thanks again,

Josiah Roberts

A. Most likely the problem is occurring due to network congestion, I have noticed this same problem at different times of the day, other times the videos play fine. It is due to bandwidth limitations of the internet, and when this occurs it is called "buffering", what happens is the stream is interrupted because there is not enough "space" between our server, and your internet connection for the video to stream through un-interrupted. It is normal for this to occur, however hi speed DSL, cable and faster internet connections experience this less frequently. My experience has been that the stream/video will continue to play once the stream finds enough space to resume. Usually on my end when this occurs it only lasts for 10-20 seconds and then the video continues. When this occurs, do not click on stop and try to restart, wait for a few minutes to see if the video resumes.
