Tips on Reading BBO Movie Files

If you have trouble reading a BBO Movie file attachment from your email, or have trouble displaying it on your computer (for example, some of the text is cut off), you may find the following tips useful.
  1. The BBO movie is a "lin" file.
  2. LIN files are designed to display best in 1024/768 resolution
  3. They do not display properly with 800 x 600 resolution. See your Control Panel > Display > Settings to change (you can change back).
  4. Your BBO option should be checked for "wide screen". Log in to BBO, click on Options, be sure to click APPLY before closing the window.
  5. Some email providers change the lin format of a movie attachment so that the movie file is corrupted if you try to read it. If that occurs, try downloading the zip format version of the movie, and unzip it. If that does not work, you can always download the movie from the web site.
