1. Why is there a red cross where the video should be?
There are a number of Internet browser in use today all require a “plug-on” to play video. Click here to help with these plug-on's.
2. Why does the video ‘stop and start’ and not play correctly?
You either have a poor Internet connection or the Internet is experiencing a high volume of traffic. Try again later or download the video by clicking the ‘Download Video’ link found above the video player. Keep in mind that video only plays successfully with fast Internet and not outdated dial-up connections.
3. Why should I register?
Registering as a buyer enables you to receive (via email) a link to view the video, additional photographs, description and contact details of new properties that match your search criteria, and best of all it's a free service!
4. What is Google maps?
Google maps is a great way of viewing the area around the property that you are interested in, saving you hours of time and frustration being shown properties that do not match your search criteria. Google maps, together with viewing the full video of the property, serves as a powerful tool when short listing properties that you wish to physically view.
With Google maps you will be able to move up and down the street as if you were walking along it. You can see satellite views of the property and surrounding area, view a map, get directions and GPS coordinates to the property and even search nearby facilities such as schools, churches and shopping centres.
Just click on the Google logo below the video player whenever it is available.
5. Are all the property videos on Youtube as well?
Yes, if you go directly to the Youtube.com website you can find the video by putting in the suburb name followed by reference number. i.e. Brackendowns 1558
6. Is Uchoose Property Marketing coming to other cities and towns?
Yes, we plan to bring property video marketing to all provinces in South Africa eventually.
Video not playing smoothly?
If your video does not play smoothly ie. stops/starts or plays similar to that of a photograph slide show, then your
Internet connection may be running slowly. The video should play smoothly, even on an entry level ADSL 384K line.
The Internet maybe experiencing high volumes of traffic, either wait until a more quiet time or download the video (top right of the video player).
No video player showing?
If you do not see a video player then you Internet browser needs a “plug-on”. There are number of browsers in use today the
more popular ones are windows explorer, Firefox and Google chrome. Each require a browser add-on. Windows explorer depending
on what version you are using leaves a red cross where the player should be. About 30mm down from the top of your screen a
bar would have popped up saying “This website wants to run the following add-on 'Windows media player extension'.......”
(or something similar depending on version) you need to click on this bar and run add-on. Firefox and chrome will have
similar procedures but you may, depending on the versions, have to manually install the add-on. Just follow the prompts.
You can also download the video and run the video from your computer or if the Youtube link is available run the video from Youtube.com
but Youtube could also be asking for the Adobe flash plug-on.
You will only have to do this procedure once, the first time you play a video.
