Those of you who have Broad Band could you please click on the link below and tell me if it plays or not. If it does, can you tell me the quality of the play back? Thanks.

It didn't play from Mozilla (Mozilla decided they were text files, apparently), but from Explorer they played just fine; good technical quality (the second starts out with a series of still shots - but that is apparently deliberate), but the didn't hold my interest long enough for me to let them finish.

Thanks Jack. They are more for those who ride with us than the general public. I wanted to be sure they worked before I sent out the Emails to all of the links.

Worked on my MS system. Downloaded at a little more than twice the play speed. It looks good. I did notice some of the fast zooms on the first one were more pixalated than would be ideal, plus the cuts showed this, but it was a product of the compression I suspect. Sound was fine as well.

Very cool. It came across fine for me too, but I don't know how big the files are to tell you... my bandwidth at work is limited, but it had no problems. WinXP, MSIE 6.0, WMP 9.0

From the minute or two I watched of each, you guys are already doing better than Ozzy Osbourne when he got injured on one of those.

Did you do that nifty intro for the first?

I should have used a better compression program. I should have used the Windows media Encoder.

Thanks guys.

Thanks.

I forget that most computer people do not like the sport so please forgive me for asking you to endure watching it. I appreciate all the input. I can now send out the emails.

Look into using Xvid compression for movie files. It is one of the better compression formats out there, better than Windows media. And it is 100% free.
