To play the video, decide if you have a Microsoft Windows Media Player (blue shaded box) or a Real Media Player (yellow shaded box).   If you do not have either you can download them free by clicking on the icon in the middle of the media box.  

 The next step is to decide the speed of your modem for the download.   The 56k speed is a standard modem and the minimum speed for download.   At the 56k speed the quality is poor and should not be used normally.   The 128k down load speed is the one to select if you have a DSL modem.   Finally, if you have a cable modem or faster, select the 256k. 

If you do not have a high speed modem the best way to view the videos is to download them on to your computer.   Playing them directly from you computer has the effect of using a high speed modem.    The down side is the files are large.  Try the 128K files size first (the middle file for each player).  The resolution is not as good as the 256K file but it is not to bad and the files size is much smaller.
