Chris I'm so upset with you, words alone cannot express my anger... anger...no wrong word Jealousy LOL.

Oh to live in the land of high speed internet. To download the movies I'll have to get up at 2 or 3 in the morning when the community is sleeping and then and only then will I get enough bandwith to do it in a reasonable time frame.

Damn I don't want to be me anymore LOL

Enjoy.

Somewhere in the crunch the title of my entry is posted as the name on Geir's entry (whiich I think should be "Reborn").

Also, Ruth's "Wreckreation" has .mov extension on it, but won't play in my Quicktime, but does play on Windows Media.

Not to complain, but Time Flies is still a broken link.

As I said, we have a problem that is being solved. It should be online at 9.00 PM GMT

Hi,

My movie, Wreck Creation, was done in mpg 1, which is one of the newly accepted formats. If people are having trouble viewing it, as Chris noted, please advise me and I can try uploading another format. I used this one since it was marginally better than the Sorenson 3 file, but want to ensure everyone can see it. Thanks.

After downloading it this morning, I changed the extention of Ruth's file from .mov to .mpg (locally) and it ran just fine.

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for the post. I have no idea why it is listed as a .mov file, since I uploaded it as .mpg. If anyone else is having trouble with it, please use that extension. Can that be amended on the uwolchallenge website? I can't access that website right now, my computer says not available. And I'm probably not allowed to change the file extension there, anyway.

Also, I have multiple formats for the film on my own website:

On my PC, it shows as a mov but plays just fine in the Quicktime player.

Is it time to start a thread for each movie?

Time Flies should be good to go now.
If you still have trouble, empty your cache and try it again. But it's up and running just swimingly now. :)

Guys....The extension got confused. Its back how it should be now.

All files should now be correct and downloadable :)

I will put the link up on the site straight away.....phew then I really must go to bed ....its 2am here !

Mat Thompson

Gordon your now up !!!....as I say just the link got missed off, you would still have been judged.

My apologies. I've had to change all the naming conventions and didnt have the names referenced to some films....it was a little tricky.

Some really great entries this time. Sorry I couldn't take part. One request for the next time. If I move the little pointy finger off the link, the download stops. Is that just my computer, or is it a general phenomenon? Makes it hard to do anything else on line while waiting for the download.

Steve,
Downloads work fine for me.
Was compressing some other video, surfing the net and watching videos with no problems.

hey gordon, just checking in to let you know that previewing is still underway, so your entry is most definitely in.

thanks for helping us out with the logistics everyone, and for keeping us honest....this is a group effort, for sure.
