We Have A New Video Format! Please Read First. I am always trying to stay on the cutting edge of technology, and with video clips I have always taken pride in giving you the highest quality clips in as SMALL a file size possible. Up until now that meant my using a lot of programs with different codecs to process and compress clips in MPEG format. The size of the video was small (160x120), but the lip synch was always there and the video was not blurry like you see on streaming Real clips etc. With these new Halloween clips, I am introducing a new format to you.
The Benefits Are: 1. You now get DOUBLE the viewing size as compared to the old clips. The size of the new clips are now 320x240, and the download time is no longer than the smaller 160x120 MPEGS!
2. You will see better quality with no periodic "jumps" which sometimes happened on the older rendered MPEG clips.
3. The clips still have perfect lip synch. If you see any slightly off, it is because the original was shown this way.
4. No need for our URL on the clip - it is a secure format that cannot be taken and used on other sites.
5. Clip will stream on fast connections - no waiting for it to download.
6. I can batch convert the clips now which will save me time and will make me feel like I want to do it more often than I have been :-)
You will need Windows Media Player V.6.0 or higher which you most likely already have as it comes with Windows. Mac owners can download the player. If you need the current version, you may download it at:
Download Windows Version
NOTE: Choose your version of Windows from the pulldown list if other than Win 98.INSTRUCTIONS: If you have a slower modem connection (56K), the clip will buffer (download) fully into the player before it starts to play. A 2 MB clip will take approximately 5 minutes to DL. Clips range in size from 489K to 2.5 MB. Most fall in the range of 1 to 2 MB. They're big, but worth the wait! If you have a cable modem, DSL line or are in a LAN, no big deal!
Click on a photo to download the clip. Hover your mouse over a photo to read the size of that clip in the popup box. Some scenes are broken into a few smaller clips, so watch them in order to see the full scene.
Let me know what you think of the new format!
