Regarding the high def version at http://www.vimeo.com/1993866 I just discovered that it's possible for almost anyone to see it without the periodic choking if you have a slow connection- what you do is start it, then click on the stop button in the lower left corner- it stops playing but it doesn't stop buffering- so let it fully buffer the entire file, then click on the play button- and it will play without any jerkiness. Also, in the buttons, at the lower right corner, clicking on that button shows the video in full screen mode- if your screen res is larger than 1280x720- the image is stretched to fill the full screen which isn't good- but, once it becomes full screen, move your mouse button along the upper right part of the screen and you'll see some more buttons- click on the "scaling on" button so it says "scaling off"- then for those of you with huge monitors, the image will be exactly what it should be- 1280x720- and if fully buffered, it will play smooth even if you have a slow connection. It will also remember that you always want scaling off. Now, I grant that my first video needs a lot of improvement- it still will seem jerky in places, due to camera motion- but at least you won't see jerkiness (and sound distortion) due to slow download speed. Check out the collection of videos on the Vimeo site- some are fantastic- like looking out a picture window.

You can get a free program called You Tube Downloader: http://youtubedownload.altervista.org/ at his website. It will connect to a video and download it to your computer so you can play it offline. If you don't have a player that will play the *flash* video format the file comes in from YouTube, it will convert it to a format that you can play on any computer with your built in Media player or other video software. I have used it before and it works well. Ed Excellent. I will add a Joe Zorzin Television Network page on the ENTS site. The text of your link to YouTube worked, but clicking on it did not. Here is a working version of the link: A Tale of two clearcuts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_6WDMTBCyE Ed Frank --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Eastern Native Tree Society http://www.nativetreesociety.org You are subscribed to the Google Groups "ENTSTrees" group.
