NASA's Video Player is designed to detect your preferred media player and offer video in that format. Videos may play in Windows MediaPlayer, RealPlayer or QuickTime. You may not be able to view all videos in the player unless you have the proper plugins.
You can download the latest plug-ins here:
> Windows &rarr
> RealPlayer &rarr
> QuickTime &rarr
Firefox users may also want to download the ActiveX plugin to view captioning on some Windows Media Player videos. The ActiveX plugin can be installed by going to the site below, downloading the appropriate plugin for your version of Firefox, dragging the saved file into your Firefox window, and then closing and restarting Firefox.
> Get the ActiveX Plugin for Firefox &rarr
Mac users may want to check

To meet Section 508 Accessibility requirements, NASA.gov captions RealPlayer and QuickTime videos. Captions may not always be available in other formats. The player may not display captions properly in all combinations of media player, browser and operating system. If you need a captioned version of a video, please use
this form to contact us, specifying your problem. We will make every effort to provide you with a captioned video link as soon as possible.
Thank you for using NASA's On Demand Video Player.
