Movie Format!!!!!!
 

Hi everybody i just joined this Forum and i thinkit's a great site.I do have 1 issue tho i would really like to see :)
Since i am not running any PC box in my (privat) Studio i am having some problem's playing those Tutorial Movie's.
I know its a Filesize issue but to have some other more common Format on the site can't be all to bad can it????

PS: If i diden't see or missed something where i could get the those files please excuse me for asking ^_^

Is it a mac you are using - if so there is a lot of posts through out the board about this.

We have tried (with other sites) many different formats.

The divx seems to work great here with philips tutorials as the quality/ sound is good. It was a choice between this and quick time.

wmv was out of the question as mac users go nuts when we use this - and I have big problems with quicktime, so do many others. I think the format will be staying the same for some time at least and sorry for any inconvieniance

Thanks for the quick reply,
well i guess it is some work to make an alternative format for download :(
I will come back and check if there has been any changes.

PS: run in OS X

Hi Cron,

it usually isn't the player but the missing codec that causes problems. Go to www.divx.com and get the latest DivX codec for mac. That should enable you to play all of our movies.

cheers,

Thanks very much ,downloading like mad now ^_^

:D

well.......
 

i am starting to belive i am missing something here ^_^
i downloaded all of the tut's but i was not able to look at the others because nothing on my cpu knows how to handel those movie formats.
they all have an ending of .pl

sorry for asking silly questions but i really wanna do those tut's ^_^

change the .pl to .zip

Thx again

Movie solution
 

Perhaps, as this is often a problem for Mac users, it would be a good idea to provide the simple solution, as a subject thread, for viewing the movie files on Mac.
For example:
To view the movies go to:
http://www.divx.com/divx/
Download the latest free version of DivX which will enable you to view the tutorial movies through 'Quicktime'. If you have a problem with sound syncing simply drop the .avi file onto the DivX 'Validator' application. Avi files with MP3 audio have a compatability problem with Quicktime which 'Validator' fixes. If you have previously installed the '3vix' codec you may need to remove or disable it before viewing the tutorial movies as it can override the DivX codec.
To Access the DivX decoder post-processing options hold down the 'option key' after double clicking on the movie file.

Hope this helps.
