Michele 1 #1 October 22, 2003 Hi, all, your favorite computer illiterate here. I just received Rob Tonnesen's Memorial Ash Dive cd - 8:24 long, absolutely brilliant work by Lief the editor. I want to load it up so you all can see it...but I have no clue how to do it. I can watch it, but can't figure out how to do the rest. Can someone, using the "is the machine plugged in" method of instruction, help me out? I'd really love to get this up so that you guys can see a father releasing his son, and be touched by the magic that was that day...please? I'm begging here.

Michele 1 #3 October 22, 2003 I've got it on a cd...and no idea what to do with it now. How do I get it over to my own machine so I can send it to another one? Or is that not how it works?

CrazyIvan 0 #4 October 22, 2003 Is that a DVD or a regular CD with a AVI or MPG video in it?, can you see the contents of the CD?, if you can, then you can just COPY the file from the CD to you PC.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

Michele 1 #5 October 22, 2003 I can watch it just fine on the media thing on my machine. I have no idea of the rest of your questions...told ya I'm illiterate. Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyIvan 0 #6 October 22, 2003 Ok...if you close Windows Media player and cdouble click on the icon MY COMPUTER, you'll see the CD, right click on that icon (the CD icon with the movie) and when you see the menu click on EXPLORE, after doing that, tell me what do you see.__________________________________________ Blue Skies and May the Force be with you.

prepheckt 0 #7 October 22, 2003 Michele, Go to My Computer. Open that, and then you should be able to tell which drive the CD is in(It should have a CD icon/list the name of the CD). Then right click and chose open. If this works, it will show you the files on the CD. Drag and click them to put them on your PC. After that then post them to www.skdivingmovies.com"Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juanesky 0 #8 October 22, 2003 Michele, Put the CD on the machine and then close the media thingy.... Now, if you go to my computer icon, and open and then where you see the CD drive (could be the letter D: E or on depending on your pc. Right click that letter that you know represnts your CD drive, and select the explore option. Once you are in there locate the file that runs the movie....and copy it by right clicking it or hitting Ctrl-c"According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #9 October 22, 2003 I can find it in drive F; however, when I click on it to open the movie, it tells me there's a software component missing??? So I must've done something wrong....

Michele 1 #15 October 22, 2003 yes, you asked me to explore....but explore what? And I am right clicking (although it's good of you to check....it's me after all. I am saving it again with the Real Media thingy rather than quicktime, because it kept yelling at me about quicktime. And it plays on the media thingy just fine.

Michele 1 #22 October 22, 2003 the Pinks part was to show support for JFTC....maybe I should put it back in even though we aren't doing it again until next year....hrm.... O.K., I'll try to send it to skydivingmovies.com. OR shoudl I try the new one Leroy put up, the mirror site? Any idea how long it will take on a dial-up?

prepheckt 0 #23 October 22, 2003 not sure, depends how much bandwith Leroy has. If too many people watch it, he may exceed his BW limit, and then the site gets shut down. I'd say put it on SDM.com. At least 30 minutes. I have a T-3 connection, so I think mine is about 5 min or less. It depends on your network and how many people are trying to access it."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
