I've wondered about this.

Firefox, on my laptop, when this happened, or shortly thereafter, automatically disabled Adobe Flash. I'm not able to see some videos. Though I did check in, for a few minutes, at Twin Spires.

It's always something with computers, with security. It gets boring.

I have AFP disabled everywhere.
Any sites the required it I will just not bother with for video.
Security at Adobe is pretty lax. I no longer use any of their products and things go a lot smoother.

HTML5 is the transport of choice. A number of different providers are moving towards it already. The big question will be how long will it take the tracks and the providers to move to HTML5?

About as long as it took them to move to HD broadcasting.

I don't.
If I have to watch races on a computer, I will give it up.

I'm suspicious of anything they call tamper proof on the internet. Would love to be convinced otherwise....
