Anyone else unable to view the water movies?
« on: February 04, 2009, 07:32:22 PM »
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I'm unable to view the movies of the new water on the front page. One's avi and the other is mpg.

download the free FRAPS version...you need the FRAPS codec.  I couldn't view it either until I got that codec.  Now it plays fine in Windows Media Player...and looks really nice too.

The mpg played properly in WMP after I downloaded it to my hard drive.  The AVI did not.  I downloaded a GNU license video player suggested in another thread, VLC, and it plays both the mpg and avi properly.

Unless something is wrong with my WMP, the videos are only 2 seconds or so long and just show the water shimmering a bit.

Get the full size AVI and put it on repeat (loop). It doesnt cycle quite right but it looks good just the same.

Thank you!  Now I can wistfully gaze at the farmhouse that's about to slide into the shimmering water.
