Technical Stuff:
Use this link to watch a video, in an external browser (I.E., Chrome, Firefox, etc.): https://webcast.chessclub.com/icc/c/Heisman/2011_02_05/Heisman.mp4
In other words, when you can't access one of the very old videos, replace .html with .mp4 at the end of the link.
We are working to make all the old videos available the old way, but it'll take some time."
Watching archived ICC videos on IPad and IPhone:
- ICC's Blitzin & Dasher use Flash for Internet Explorer for videos. Go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ using Internet Explorer for the correct version of flash - note you have to untick the box on the page, or you will also get Google Chrome & Toolbar when you click on 'Download'
- Some have reported that certain videos run better under Internet Explorer
- Report from ICC on Apr 2016 about running some older videos:

Watching archived ICC videos on IPad and IPhone:
- Aug 2012: All of our new videos work on iPad. As of a few days ago, iPad users get the entire weekly schedule and it’s archived for months (Currently goes back to March 2012). That’s your last 26 shows. It’s true that shows produced years ago are not in the proper format, as they were done in WMV. We do have plans to redo all the old shows, but not immediately.
- Dec 2012: A few weeks ago we switched to a new format (HTML5) that makes it possible to play all new videos on an iPhone. This is not yet in the iPhone app, so you currently you will need to browse to www.chessclub.com/videos and select the FULL show link to watch. Another idea is to bookmark http://www6.chessclub.com/chessfm/index/heisman/index2.html and view the videos from there. The video from 11/24/2012 onward should work on your iPhone. There will be two viewing options, viewing directly, or downloading an app to manage the collection of videos so you can view them later directly from the app.
