Pierre kindly gave me a CD with his recordings of seven of this year's finales. I've uploaded them now to my "spare" server. Please note these are in QuickTime format so you will need to use the QuickTime player to view them. Thanks to Pierre (salutes lover) for making these available.

These were all filmed from the Jacques Cartier bridge overlooking La Ronde so it gives people an idea of the view from this location.

Thanks for making these available Pierre!

There's a small problem, though. It seems that I can only watch the first and last clips listed above. When I try the others, nothing shows up on the screen.

This maybe just my computer. Is it working for you guys? Anybody have suggestions?

The 2 I saw were very nicely done! Thx Pierre! I just hope I can see the others!

It looks pretty good on the bridge, from a viewing perspective! Anyways, reply soon.

Trav.

everything works fine for me, i havent posted yet, cuz im currently converting them in mpg (cuz i hate .mov)

did u try redownloading them, try one by one, i will come to ure assistance once im done

Smoke, what is the version of ure Quicktime?

im using v6.1, did u try redownloading one be one?

Enkil,

I tried redownloading them, but for some reason, only the first and last ones are working. I mean, the La Ronde finale and the opening display finale are the only ones that are working.

When I try the other ones, nothing happens. In the bottom of the page, it says "done" after downloading, as usual, but nothing shows up..... The ones that ARE working come up very fast with no problems!

I'm not sure what version I have of Quick Time, but is there a way of converting the files into Real One Player format? I like it better, that's all. I'll try to find out what version I have and let you know.

Darn, I wish I could see them!

Trav.

one way or another u will be able to it

u need to go to Help -> About and tell me the version

I think the version that I have is the "Free Version".

I'm not sure about the rest, but I also read "Version 6.5.1," in HELP-ABOUT. That's the version I saw.

I also think that if I had the Quick time Pro format, maybe it will work? Perhaps this is the problem.

Which one do you have, Enkil? I'll try to get the same one as yours. My computer is new and has high speed, so it has to be the application program. I don't why the other clip downloads aren't working......

Only 2 work, as I said before.

I hope the versions I posted helped.

Regards,

Trav.

no it has nothing to do with Quick time Pro

uninstall the version u have

and install Quicktime v6.1 (i have the same, just downloaded today)

i dunno what Windows it supports, i have Win98se, also, i think it should be fine

heres the link: http://www.hellasystems.de/ftp/Software/QuickTime/QuickTime%206.1/Quic kTimeInstaller.zip

Thanks, Enkil.

I have Windows XP, so I think it should work. I'll try the one you posted. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Thx.

Trav.

unzip all the files in a folder and open .exe as usuall, ull need Winzip to open .zip

Enkil,

There also seems to be a problem when I tried going to the web site you posted.

The same scenario occured, as when I tried to download the clips. I can't get to the web site for some odd reason.

I hate this!!!! Any other suggestions? Don't worry too much about it, though. I'll keep trying and let you know.

Trav.

what happens when u try to download from the site?

i think its ure browser

The problem is that I can't get to the site. It just comes up blank. Maybe you're right, it could be my browser, but still, I find it strange that I'm able to watch 2 of those clips without problems, while the others are just blank. I tried downloading from my other computer, which has Quick Time, but the same thing happened. To tell you the truth, this is the first time this happened, and I think it's because I use Real One format all the time to watch all my video clips. The clips from 2003 are all on my Real One Player program and I play them no problem.

Enkil, I really appreciate all the help that you're offering for me, but I can't understand what's going on. I wish I could see those finales! Especially Caballer! At least I can see 2 of them!

hmmm.....perhaps we should call this topic "Solving Smoke's Problem!"""

Trav.

do u have another browser installed on ure computer?

or a download manager?

could u tell me how much bytes ure espagne190604.mov file is, i will compare it with mine

u can check it on Properties

Trav.

I am really sorry you are having problems viewing some of the videos.
I know that when I just click on the link, a window opens up and nothing happens.....I get the message "done", but still no clip.

But when I right click on the link, I choose "save target as", then I save, then I open (this works).....but maybe this is what you are already doing. If not, try it.....it might work! I wish I could transfer .mov files into .wmv files.....then, I would send them to you.

Good luck

Pierre
