Brooke, how do you get IE6 to show anything? I get a blank page with a few Microsft links in the upper left corner. I tried the latest release of Opera 9.64 and it shows the same thing. Do you have to install SilverLight? If so, is this format also used to view offline? Carnegie Mellon has a description of the 7 lectures in the series at http://www.ece.cmu.edu/news/story/2005/03/the_feynman_lecture/ I've been trying to find Lecture 3: The Great Conservation Principles. This seems fundamental to everything we are doing - flicker and the other noise sources, drift, random walk, etc. But I have not found any source on the web so far. I did find more lectures in YouTube that were not referenced elsewhere. They are part of the Messenger series, but the quality is poor. The lectures are broken into separate files, and some have long breaks with no video or sound. I really would like to get the whole set. Feynman often refers to previous lectures in the series, but without seeing them it's hard to get a complete picture. Too bad there is no converter for Silverlight. Which, btw, I found an excellent free converter at http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/ It works great! They have about 60 other free programs ranging from accounting and inventory software to camera monitoring software that looks for scene changes. Everything I've tried so far works very well. My Win98 machine went unstable and I had to reboot a couple of times, but I'm not sure that wasn't caused by a multimedia program that crashed every time I tried to move the file cursor. If you can, let me know if MS uses Silverlight to save the files. I suspect that will be the case. If so, it might be worth creating a separate WinXP installation in VirtualBox just to watch the files. A bare XP installation is only a couple of GB. The entire Feynman series might be 4GB or so. That's not much on a 500GB disk. And the quality would have to be better than YouTube:) Mike _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
