Here's one example: http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2653047
First, you must open a pop-up window to view the movie (and you are presented by a highly confusing, attention-grabbing semi-popup when the mouse hovers over the link; one you just want to click on but can't). Now, instead of just clicking on "Windows Media Player" (or whatever you prefer) in this movie selection dialog, one clicks on a radio-button next to it, and then clicks on play.
All in all, that's about two clicks and one failed try more than needed for what these dialogs try to achieve. |
We're doing business with a company formerly known as Pink Elephant (now Pink Roccade). Seems to apply to them too :-D |
why ifilm would want to test your machine to find out what media players you have is beyond me.
(whats wrong with just providing a quicktime, media player and realplayer versions , leaving it up to the end user to decide...)
that ifilm clip doesnt work on konqueror (linux) by the way – i just get a "testing your machine for available media players" page.

Here's another one:
