Here's the video clip from the old TV show on my dance teacher. If you look closely, you'll see a 15 year old big haired Jodi in the background wearing black and flourescent green.

The sound quality isn't great, but its better than nothing I guess!

So I downloaded it to my desktop, to save your bandwidth, but I'm having a hard time trying to watch it. It's skipping, and lagging, like I'm trying to watch it over a bad network connection. I just have the free quicktime player, on a Windows PC. Do you or Brian have any suggestions?

are you running the latest version of quickime (7.1)? and how fast is your computer?

it plays fine on my 2x2.0ghz macbook, and on my 2x2.8ghz pentium 4 running XP at work.

i don't have any slower systems to try it on, but my guess is that you don't have the horespower for H.264 video at that resolution.

yeah, same thing is happening to me. shh, don't tell eric: he'll just use it as another excuse to want to buy me a macbook.

i'll be shrinking it down to something more managable later tonight.

sheesh people, doesn't everyone get a new computer every 6 months? ;)

~1.8 Ghz Athlon XP, Win XP with 1.5 GB RAM, and yes, QT 7.1. It's a few years old, but it's really not that slow. :-p

sadly, i think it is too old for the way i made the clip.

i used the H.264 codec in quicktime which is the cutting-edge, latest and greatest type thing, rather than something more general like divx.

and as i'm discovering, that works great in a world of dual processor machines, but not so well on anything even slightly older.
