Episode III teaser out
 
Well, it's sort of been leaked. I think it officially comes out tomorrow, but people on the LucasArts webpage membership thing got it already. There are some torrents out for it now. I've got one, but can't attach... so look around.

Oooh.

Today was the offical release. Apparently it will be airing on TV tonight as well. But only on selected channels. The list of which, I don't know.

/heads off looking for a copy/

Who is attached to distribute SW3? If it's Fox, then it should air on any of thier regular cable networks and broadcast channels. To narrow it, I would say the HD ones are getting it first.

Well I was forewarned that the trailer would be on tv here this morning and so set my video to record it. With my video you take your chances that it won't be all scratchy. I wasn't lucky. Ah well I could listen to it, and I was always going to run it slowly to see each scene (and it reduces the snow) so it turned out ok. Anyhow thanks Kwok for the link.

I'm sure by tomorrow night we'll be seeing higher quality Versions floating around.

Opposed to those too, eh?

At least Media Player Classic can play them (with proper codecs installed, such as from K-lite Codec Pack)), so no need to install some stupid program from Apple... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Addendum: I ran a good tape through the machine for a few seconds and it cleared it up, so I have a nice copy of it. I'm sorry I don't have any of that newfangled equipment for copying tapes to a movie file.

Edit: oh, I gathered the disatisfaction with quicktime was the inability to save the movie.

Easiest way is to just have a TV-in card in your computer. Some video cards have them built in, or you get a separate card. No tapes necessary. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Nah, they have no choice but to be saved, due to Firefox being set to never play them in the browser. It's more about the overall poor quality of the format and annoyance with Apple trying to ram it down our throats at every chance they get for years... Good thing the encrypted codec format was cracked... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I try to save them but it never lets me. I can copy from my internet directory, but if I try to play them without visiting the website they come from I get sound but no picture.

What browser are you currently using?

Randallw November 5th, 2004 03:24 AM

Re: Episode III teaser out
 
My answer would immediately have you decrying microsoft and telling me to change my browser. However before you start the inevitable villification of IE, I am happy with what I have, and any imagined benefits would not be worth the trouble of me changing my browser for what I see as no reason.

Fyron November 5th, 2004 03:48 AM

Re: Episode III teaser out
 
No it wouldn't...

Internet Explorer doesn't give you any control over plugins like Quick Time. You could uninstall the official Quick Time plugin and install Media Player Classic as previously mentioned. This may or may not allow for proper saving of .mov files.

Let me apologise then for making assumptions, I sometimes get the impression people are opposed to IE (and any Microsoft product) on principle. I just realised that of course Quicktime is an apple product, so obviously thats not the issue. I have both Quicktime and Media player incidentally.

Read the commentary, that sums it all up for me.

For me this year I want to go into the theather cold turkey, so to speak. I hope(notice the word 'hope'.) I don't see any trailers this time a round. I do not want to even see pictures from the movie, let alone a movie trailer. But, I do hope everyone likes the sneak peak!

Media Player Classic, or Windows Media Player? MPC trumps both hands down in terms of what it can play... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I am, of course, opposed to IE in principle, but that is mostly because it, along with Outlook, is the major cause of the spread of viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, and other malware... Also because it still does not support the web standards for HTML, CSS, and various other Languages. Nothing to do with it being a Microsoft product per se.

Fyron, please stop hyjacking the Posts.

Thank you.

Fyron November 5th, 2004 03:39 PM

Re: Episode III teaser out
 
Hijacking? What are you talking about? Topic drift on these forums is the norm, and I rarely have anything to do with it... I have "hijacked" no threads. Discussing tangents that arose in a natural progression is not "hijacking." The original discussion still continues and has not been drowned out...

I for one hope that Episode III does not suck as much as Episodes I and II, but have no delusions that this will be a possibility in the real world...

I Deplore the fact you accuse me of Hijacking that thread!

Mainly because I never finished my hijacking first http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

I will Not name my accomplices, Even though they have also posted, and I Will not Openly admit to Hijacking the thread, even though I just did.

Looking at Fyron's Post count I accuse you on a charge of "Grand Spamming!"
