Brown University application problems

Hey if anyone else is applying to Brown, are you having a problem with the video response in the additional information section. The interface just refuses to work.

Thanks

I'm having trouble too. I can't get any sound to record. I'm not terribly worried though, as the application does not mark the video as a required field, and I have suspicions that the purpose of the video is just to be an easy way of judging English proficiency anyway.

Cheers. What did you do finally, if I may ask?

Along with never getting the sound to work, another problem was that most of what I recorded would mysteriously disappear. I think it was cutting off the ends of all the videos I tried to make. So after recording a minute or two answer what resulted was 15 seconds of soundless video. So that's what they'll see. I guess they will never know who my favorite physicist is. Were your problems with it anything like what I described?

If you're concerned, it might still be worth it to contact them about it? I really don't know.
