Rats...errors with Janne's video files...help?
I downloaded the last video in a series from a couple weeks ago and I
did the same tonight for the Toblach grand finale with Kris and Carl. And both times at the halfway point of the last video, as I'm playing it with Real One I get a darn error message and everything stops and I miss out! Subsequent attempts to download the clip afresh somehow only restart my existing clip promptly even though I try to throw away the old clip (I look for everything with the same name on the machine and trash it but it still seems to come back to life WAY too quick--it's like it's not really trashed). Anyway the error message is: "Unknown format: bad data in avi source file." Anyone know what it means or how to fix it? Maybe the glitch relates to the fact that I start playing the clip before it gets done downloading. ?? These are great clips but RATS! Thanks for any miracle cure, JP PS: From what I saw so far, the V2 technique is darn purty. They sure do bring their legs straight under their hips and ride it like a speed skate. I also noticed a nifty section where a guy was tilted way forward and definitely PULLING on his poles---they were out in front of his face and he pulled them towards his face. Man, I hope all my work this summer and fall with V2 pays off somehow this winter. It's starting to feel pretty good; it feels like it might be breaking thru. Then...watch out! Well, it's nice to think so anyway. Right, Mike? Oh and I noticed I seem to have lost a good few pounds after my two big workouts before catching my latest cold and haven't gained any back. Onward! |

I've been playing the videos in Windows Media Player, and downloading the entire file first, and I have had not problems at all Paul -- Remove the caps to reply Nordic Nuts http://barney.gonzaga.edu/~pbelknap |

Thanks for any miracle cure, JP Use the right button on your mouse and chose "save link as..." in Netscape (yes i'm old fashion and use Netscape;-), or "save link target as.." in Mozilla (IE have this option also with some other choise of words) to download the video locally and start the view from a local downloaded copy. It seams that you are viewing a copy that are in your local cache and that copy is faulty for some reason. -- Forward in all directions Janne G |

What I have done with success, after having trouble playing this season's clips from the web without saving them to my hard drive, is to go Janne's ftp site, and download the clips to my hard drive, and then it plays fine. Right click, save to folder (make a folder called Janne G, or Foolishly Large Files For Esoteric Fringe Sports, etc), download to that, then play it. No problem. |

(yes i'm old fashion and use Netscape;-), or "save link target as.." in Mozilla Or just run a shell script like ... #!/bin/bash wget http://avari181.mt.luth.se/pub2/Tobl...tRelayMen1.avi wget http://avari181.mt.luth.se/pub2/Tobl...tRelayWom1.avi That way you don't have to hang out right-clicking all day :-).

You may have to find the correct 'codec' to pay the video.
I think I'm having the same problem. I get the audio but no video. jw milwaukee |

I get the audio but no video. jw milwaukee I had audio and no video until I downloaded and installed the DivX codecs. The files work nicely at work on my 2.40 GHz Pentium 4. But they don't at home, and that is where I want to watch them and show them to the kids. I have a Celeron 700. I guess I need a video card. Any suggestions? JMC |

Thanks for the fix!
What a fun race to watch. Great camerawork. Well, except in the last km when the camera was on the last guy and the announcers were screaming about the windup to the sprint, but hey...it was still great! : ) -- Jeff Potter **** *Out Your Backdoor * http://www.outyourbackdoor.com publisher of outdoor/indoor do-it-yourself culture... ...offering "small world" views on bikes, bows, books, movies... ...rare books on ski, bike, boat culture, plus a Gulf Coast thriller about smalltown smuggling ... radical novels coming up! ...original downloadable music ... and articles galore! plus national travel forums!
