Someone said they got the video, but no sound so I thought I'd go for it. Got a hardware problem on the machine with FC1 that's got Mplayer with the .avi codecs, so I put Mplayer on a Gentoo install on the other machine. Great. I've got sound but no video, except a "Matrix" type thing on the screen. No .avi codecs came with Mplayer, and I'm not sure how to find em on Gentoo, so back to fixing the other machine. Real "Big problems in Little China" here. The third harddrive had been renamed from hde to hdc (it runs off an ide pci adaptor card booting from floppy). Then when I booted up FC2 on the same machine, all the cdrom/dvdrom drives had disappeared. Took a while, like most of the day, doh, but eventually tracked it down to the cd writer being hosed. Now to play your movie. Great. No problems. I think the movies really good. It's got that sort of surreal look to it, and the sounds, even though you said you'd thrown them together, go very well with it. Perhaps I'm biased cause I'm really into dance music, but I do think it comes over very well. Breakaways into the trees here and there creates a real atmosphere along with the breaks soundtrack. I'm getting a bit old at 57, and the furthest my mountain bike goes is down to the local town for a couple of baguettes. As for the stunts. I'm trying to stay in one piece. Keep at it man. I like it.
