I haven't been able to view it.

It took my sorry connection 4 hours to d/l, then cut off at 58MB. WMP says it can't recognize the file. Niether can the DivX player or my Creative media player.

If you didnt download the whole file then you wont be able to play it because avis files keep the index at the end of the file.

That's what I thought. I hate my dial-up.

I find it seems you get disconnected less frequently at night. Works for me at least.

@Cole:
You can also open it up in VirtualDub using the extended options and have it rederive the keyframe flags, then just save a copy (direct stream video/audio). I've used that a few times when I've only got a partial file, and it seems to work fine.

Oh, and the video was very cool

Waitin' for the one with the bloops put in.

I put the one with the pop up sound on my website. But after showing Phade the two mistakes where I left out some layers (due to stupidly deleting files before the final export), he let me replace it. (What an awesome guy.) So now you can even redownload it here from the org and get the fixed version complete with the "bloops".

Thanks for the tip, I was finally able to watch it yesterday after doing that. All except for the ass-end of the video (the last 30 seconds or so). That was truly classic. I laughed from start to finish. I haven't seen Excel in so long, but I don't remember the show itself even being THAT funny. Very good work, there.

Thanks.
Which reminds me, my newest video is out now. It's calles Sappy Self-Euphoria. It's a two-parter. You can download the first part here here and the second part here.

Hope you all enjoy it.
