Why don't they just include a link to http://www.videolan.org for an easy way to play this back?

Thanks. :)

I second that!

vlc is just a hack, use the proper filters/codecs and you dont have to install wacky video players like videolan o_O

if you dont want to install it all separately: CCCP FTW! ;)

No, you are confusing VLC with those shitty DirectShow based players. VLC is portable and does not depend on any crap Windows APIs!

uhm no, pretty much all proper players give you the choice to select the renderer you like ;)

vlc is just the most awkward player there is (both by design and handling)

The only "renderer" that these other Windows players support is dshow/vfw, while vlc supports those and X11, OpenGL, SDL etc...

If you meant "codec" by saying "renderer" then you are wrong, too. VLC supports other codecs installed on your system to play back WMV9, REAL e.g., but mostly this is not needed as it includes ffmpeg/libavcodec (which ffdshow is also based on) to decode all important formats like mpeg4, h.264 etc. very efficiently. VLC also includes its own demuxers for avi, mpg, mp4/mov, rm, mkv, ogg etc., that are more error resistant, making it possible to play even broken files.

And what is it, that you actually don't like about its design and handling?

owned...
VLC 4 the win

no regular user would ever want or try use another renderer than dshow on a windows machine o_O at most ppl would switch between overlay and vmr9 when it comes to dshow
any other proper player would play real, quicktime, whatever too ;) you just have to set the proper options... but most players support those things by default anyway nowadays

it looks ugly, even in comparison to other players with a low profile look
skipping and fast forwarding in video in vlc sucks ;> it's not accurate and you always get artifacts on screen by doing it
the player has problems with quite a few files using x264 in mkv container... where it crashes on opening the file [only plays the audio, fails to render the video]
also it frequently fails to render subtitle streams in ogm and mkv properly...

i could list many more things :P

Most Windows players just support avi and mpg out of the box, while VLC supports all common formats and even DVDs.

I don't find it ugly looking at all. Simple GUI that doen't get in my way. May I ask you what your favourite player is?

Skipping (I guess you meant "seeking") and fast forward work reliable here, no artifacts. Maybe you are using an outdated build?! Try a nightly: http://nightlies.videolan.org !

Matroska is a moving target, it's not stable yet. Also there are not many movies out there using it.

Calling VLC a "hack" and using OGM at the same time is obviouse nonsense to me.

i usually use mpc, has never failed on any file or format - and it is easily configurable :>

i was using the latest official binary, i dont really want to try test builds o_O

well... 90% of all (R1) anime dvd rips are done using mkv as container nowadays [usually 2 audio streams, sometimes several subtitle streams... both srt and styled ssa/ass], and quite a few fansub groups have switched to x264 as video codec as well - and x264 requires advanced containers such as mp4 or mkv after all (everything else would result in broken files, or require to disable advanced features of the codec...)
means there are plenty of files out there that just dont play in vlc for me while they play fine in mpc or zp

Well these groups should try to move to mp4, because it's well defined and standarized, even by the ISO. But I have to admit, I don't know how well the creation of mp4 files containing multiple subtitles/audio streams works with the tools that are currently available. I think http://www.doom9.org should have some guides.

Not much for UT2k4, though I was playing UT last night and having a blast. Always up for a good movie. :) Wish the download would go faster though 150k is nothing really to complain about. Bad music? For shame.. :(

think Levi might b the only mirror so i would imagine its getting raped quite bad atm...hence the slow speed sorry

Not your fault, Im getting it from the unreal.ie mirror. Keep up the good work. :)

nah.. got 3 others.. filefront, style-productions and unreal.ie . so i think and hope levi aint getting raped :D

gd gd :D

Damn, My NOD32 antivirus reporting that the x264 file hosted at levi.teamspeak.org contains this virus: Win32.Jeefo.A

(http://www.own-age.com/vids/mirrors.aspx?id=6...irror=9769)

---> http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/virusinfo/virus.aspx?ID=35519

Win32.Jeefo.A is a virus that infects PE files.

Once activated, it copies itself as SVCHOST.EXE to the Windows directory, launches it as a separate process, then passes control back to the host program. The virus then installs itself as a service to stay in memory. The following registry key is created on Win9x systems:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunServices\PowerManager, = "%Windows%\SVCHOST.EXE"

On Win2k, the service name is "Power Manager":

HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\PowerManager\ImagePath, "%Windows%\svchost.exe"

Note that SVCHOST.EXE is a valid system filename that exists in the System directory. The virus-created SVCHOST.EXE contains only the virus itself and is 36,352 bytes in size.

The virus searches drive letters C to Z for fixed disks. Once found, all directories are searched for suitable PE file to infect. Infected files increase 36,352 bytes in size, but the last modified date and time remains the same.

The virus body contains the following hidden message (although this is never displayed to the user):

"Hidden Dragon virus. Born in a tropical swamp"

Note: The virus may corrupt some files. Such files may not work correctly after cleaning and removal of the virus code. The corrupted programs will need to be restored from backups or the original installation packages.

just found out.. its harmless.. tho im changing all files atm.. only levi left.. just pm'ed 240 bout it..so i guess the file will be down for a coule of minutes..
thanks anyway

doing it now
[/edit] done :)

Harmless..?

ut2004 is so 1980 ^^

tbh Q4 feels like something released in that period :)

Nice movie, the music went well with the frags.

really liked the movie although some frags were not that awesome

downloadin :>

.

most lucky frag

.

the lucky part in yours was his shot elevating you to the roof, which was the most enjoyable part of your frag, the actual double rocket was a very pedestrian frag.

"best frag ever" rofl, wouldn't think so, its very nice but, imo Goirach's bio is way more nicer, and what about Falcon's super air rock in aaXess?

:)

Nice, is the intro inspired by the TrustedComputing movie? =)

Pretty sweet for an ut2k4 movie.

was ok, 8/10 for me, but have to lower the rating a bit since i got buttfucked and wasnt mentioned in the intro, even tho ive been working with the site since the early Scandinavian Open (hell, i even came up with the scan open idea/concept) days til' today's UNorth. lame.

oh c'mon sweety... here! have a candy.

.

have i? q4 is great, but afaik, i havent been playing q4 since friday, and prolly wont until i get a better pc

however, i fired up ut2004 as late as 10 hours ago

QQ

damn this movie makes me wanna play UT2004 again instead of Q4!

really nice movee

Awesome editing
Used music
Some good camming
good/perfect quality
Frags in first half werent good
Frags in 2nd half owned fucking ass
8/10 :)

"Frags in first half werent good
Frags in 2nd half owned fucking ass"
i second that..although the only thing that i was "missing" in a 2k4 videos was that ace daddys luckcombo =)
very good editing/music was also suitable
id go with 8/10 too

wow!

I want ingamesounds and a gun below +_+

drawgun 1 is not possible in demo playback @ ut2004

which is a total joke.

ut ppl are stuggeling to capture their movies, and q4 movies are already being made with super quality + sound.
i mean, how hard can it be for epic for put the drawgun in there...
and then they make a demo to divx feature, but it sucks ass.
gg epic, burning my ut dvd as we speak.

...not really, because i'm addicted to it....

dumpframes pwns so no whining on the exporting-capability plz :)

yeah, i guess dumpframes is fine... but if your machine isn't fast enouh it will skip frames, please correct me if i understood it wrong, only read about dumpframes, haven't used it yet.

quake and movieunreal will slow down the game to ensure that you get the framerate you want, that way you can use any rez + detail. very nice.

also i think sound capturing should be somehow included, i wonder if you have to run q4 a second time to capture the sound, dunno.

and...having the gun in there would really be nice.

I know :> but that doesnt mean I dont want it :>

also I dont see why they tied the gunbopping to the screenbobbing in UT :)

good movie

-frags in first part
+frags in second
-music in second part
+music in first part

editing is brilliant
