Pretty standard for a beginner actually. The backloops got better as he went. Definitely needs some tracking practice. That's what being a student is all about. Heck, in ten years he may be a world champion, and you and I will be begging to get on loads with him.

Quicktime opens runs but I don't see or hear anything. [:/]



The video needs the Divx 5.0 (DX50) codec. Even after downloading the codec, Wimp 9 didn't want to
play it. I downgraded to Wimp 10, reinstalled the Divx codec, and that played it. One version back of
Quicklime knew it needed a codec but couldn't find it on the Quicklime site; upgrading to the latest
Quicklime gave the same results. If television had been like this in 1950, it'd have about a 15% market
share now.

The only way for the internet to be your friend is to amass as many codecs as possible. I've added about 35 to Quicktime and I no longer have trouble playing any file type except real media... anything from wmv to avi and everything in between will play in QT now... in addition to all the standard formats.
I really don't know what I'm talking about.

Be very careful with just downloading codecs, and definately NEVER install any codec packs. You can totally screw up your pc that way.

You shouldn't need 35 codecs, or you're viewing some real obscure stuff ;) Generally, the standard quicktime, realplayer, windows media, divx and xvid codecs should work for just about anything and will not get you into trouble.

I'm glad my first attempts at a backloop are not on the web! Make this guy look like an expert.

(However, I was always a good tracker.)

One constraint is that I was on a machine where I am not completely
free to install what I want. Well-written software can be installed to a
network drive where I have complete access, but most media player
stuff is not well-written. I have to get all chntpw on its ass to install
codecs on this machine.

At home, I downloaded some codec packs supplied by the media player
vendor. They all go in /usr/lib/win32 and everything is fine. I don't
worry about hosing the registry because I don't _have_ one. :)

Butbutbut... when I transcode everything into FleshtoneOptimizedCodec
v0.0.0.0.0.-1.alpha.alpha, I can fit five more postage-stamp sized
pornos on my hard drive!!!1!

Besides my crack about television, this actually reminds me of the
situation with archivers back in the BBS days. Saving 1K on a 200K
archive was reason enough to switch. I used to keep about six or
seven different archivers on my PC, so I wouldn't have trouble
opening anything. Eventually the "market" selected zip.
