All this talk and none about the video itself? That shirt was badass!

Jarsto, thanks for the suggestion to try something else. I had downloaded the freeware VLC Media Player from http://www.videolan.org/ recently in order to see something else and I tried it with that. It worked quite well and looks great.

About the video: it should almost certainly work with the latest version of quicktime, I’m not sure about older versions.

I can’t be sure about most other software, but one thing you can try is opening the file even when the software claims it’s not supported.

The .m4v format is, as I understand it, reasonably normal MPEG-4 video, but .m4v isn’t the most common filename extension (.m4v is largely an Apple thing, I think).

I had the problem on Linux that, after downloading, Kaffeine (a frontend for Xine) didn’t show the file as a supported media file. But when I asked to see all files and opened it, it played without a problem.

Which versions of quicktime can you use to view this? Are there other players that you can use?

Thanks,

What is an M4V file? Is it a Mac format? I can’t play this file on my PC and I’ve got WMP11, Real, Quicktime and DivX with about every codec known to man.

Gary: that’s actually the OLD FPM tag line! We don’t use that one anymore, because it’s not just audio we’re doing…

The video was a little choppy for me. The content was a lot of fun, and I can see Jeffrey really enjoyed himself.

I look forward to more video clips from this event. hint,hint

I love the new FPM tag line,”Audio productions that are magic to your ears.”
