Right click on the file link above and try to save it to your machine - don't just left click it. That will make it try to stream which might not work for you.

Dunno why, but my CPU just couldn't handle the video which is...strange. (Via iTunes). So I switched it over to my iPad and watching it atm...(its running just fine too)

Yeah, sorry about that. I could encode it smaller at lower quality if there is enough need or call for it. One day I'll have better gear & better software to do this with.

Downloaded OK (I think) but I haven't watched it yet.

Going to have to download and transfer this the old fashioned way. Doesn't seem to want to play with my preferred streaming methods. Transfer speed a little slow which may account for it.

Looking forward to watching! :)

As I said above, I would not suggest trying to stream the vidcast.

Geekyfanboy · May 02, 2011, 08:30:05 AM

Wow.. just finished downloading.. guess my internet is slower then I expected.. took about 16 hours.. but now I can enjoy it on my lunch.. thanks Rico

P.S. Loved your video clip too, by the way.

Yeah, I was trying to do that yesterday before I saw the thread. Downloading steadily now, thanks Rico.
