HTML 5 Video Replayer
Adobe Flash is optional when viewing tutorial videos on the Mac OS X version of PokerTracker 4, when Flash is not installed the built in browser will default to using a native HTML 5 engine to display the video.
The web browser built into the Windows version of Poker 4 does not contain the components necessary to view videos using an HTML 5 engine, therefore Adobe Flash is necessary when using the Windows OS.

Replayer Videos
You also have the option to export hands/sessions from the replayer to video. When replaying a hand, just go to Options > Export Hand To Video. When replaying multiple hands you can choose to Export Current Hand to Video or Export All Hands to Video.
From this window you can change some basic options such as masking hero's username and masking villain usernames. And since the video will automatically play the hand, you can choose how long the action will be delayed in seconds. Along the top you can also choose the video name and where you want to save the video on your computer by clicking the disk icon.
You may also decide to share the video directly to YouTube. To do this, click the blue Configure my YouTube Account link and enter your username and password. Then check Upload to YouTube and enter the title, description, and any keywords for the video.
