some new stuff on the vids page
 

we've added some content to the vids page.

Braden King's videos for Do You Believe In Rapture and Reena
Claire Denis' videos for Incinerate and Jams Run Free (all FOUR of the Jams edits!)
my videos for Peace Attack and the Unwritten song-writing cut-up from Nurse
Frogme's (me, Kim, Jim) video for Nevermind

Cool shit I'm gonna check it out right now.

We love you.
Well, most of us do.
Now time to update those fu*kin' photo pages, uh ;) ?

Nice one! Will check them now.

Awesome!

Ity takes like, twenty minutes for videos to open (aside from Youtube) on m shitty computer... is that common?

is your quicktime up to date and configured so that it recognizes that you have broadband? all of the vids on this site are fast-start quicktimes, so there shouldn't be more than a minute of lag. they all start in under 20 seconds for me.

To answer yr question: probably not. Bummer... we're getting a new computer soon, I guess I can wait another little while.

I've got broadband ADSL and a good computer. Peace attack is most definitely not streaming video. I've been waiting more than 10min and it's slooowww.

really? what about the other ones?

in the quicktime control panel/system preference pane, you should all have the following options set:

in the "Streaming" tab, "Enable Instant On" should be toggled on.
your streaming speed should be correctly set in that tab as well.

in the "advanced" tab, "transport setup" should be set to automatic

in the "browser" tab, "play movies automatically" and "save movies in disc cache" should both be toggled on.

you should be running some 7.x version of quicktime.

check all of that if you have any problems.

Thanks.

if anyone who has their quicktime configured as i've described is noticing lag in any of the videos, let me know and i'll re-encode them.

That Peace Attack video isn't working. It streams a third of the way and stops. I downloaded it and noticed that it's an mpeg 4 format, 39.8mb for 06'09min. Probably filmed on an HD camera and scaled down to 400x270.
I also noticed that you probably use Finalcut standard codecs and not sorenson squeeze. Why the mpeg 4 and not .mov like the rest? I've checked the jams and they stream well. I find the size dazzling, 256x202??? If I scale that to a standard size, I get 300x237 and not 240...

i just re-posted it 5 minutes ago. should work now. you may need to refresh that page to get the new link though.

i don't use the apple codec. it sucks. i use 3ivx.

I have to view it through Mozilla or Netscape, the other one just pops up a box and weird things start crawling on the page.

snails?

That's better.

I wouldn't bother with Netscape. It's a fossil browser that's bound for extinction. :D

I dont know something like this.
