Why are some ToKillFor.com videos blurry?
The quality of ToKillFor.com video is relative to the speed of your modem. If you are using a 56k modem to access ToKillFor.com, your connection speed may be too slow to get a high-quality video stream; therefore the film may appear blurry or be delivered like a filmstrip instead of a movie. It is also a matter of the initial video quality as submitted by a fellow ToKillFor.com member.

What is Streaming?
The term "streaming" refers to files that are designed to play as they download without the need to complete the download before you begin playing it. These streaming files are specially encoded and delivered from high-performance streaming servers. The whole process is designed to let you enjoy more great, high-quality content faster. There are many streaming products on the Net: music, videos, animations and more.
What is video compression?
In order to deliver quality video over the Internet, digitized video clips are compressed using custom software.

Compression decreases the file size, allowing for a reasonable amount of download time or streaming capability.

What are Plug-Ins?
Plug-ins are small applications that give your browser extra capabilities, such as playback of audio or video files, 2-D or 3-D animation, and so on. When you try to view or hear a file that requires a plug-in, like a movie or sound clip, the necessary plug-in launches automatically if you already have it. Current browsers come prepackaged with the most popular plug-ins (some are listed below), but if you don't have the plug-in you need, you can download it from the developer's site. Plug-ins are generally free, though some offer advanced features for an extra fee.
If you download and install a plug-in but find that you still can't view the desired files, quit the browser and reopen it. Some older browsers require you to quit the program in order to fully install a plug-in.
What are Cookies?
A "cookie" is a small piece of data that a Website sends to your computer to make your surfing easier. By doing the record-keeping for you saving passwords, noting which plug-ins you have, and so on cookies make surfing more efficient and more personal.
