Princeton 2 Cornell 1 postgame

The clip clearly shows a goal, though.  Thanks, Age, for posting it.[/quote]

Yes, I always go back over the game thread. But I realize many might not. That's why I put the emoticon in my post, I was trying to poke fun at you. I'm sorry if you took offense. I'll try and be more sensitive next time.

It really doesn't take much time to scroll thru the game thread afterwards, and it's often fun, and sometimes enlightening. This time Age was responding to a request that it would be great to see the replay.

I didn't take offense; luckily, I'm a little thicker-skinned than that.  But I did think that pretty much everything you said besides "here's a clip of it" was utterly unnecessary.  :-)

Arthur, I looked into it a little bit and the file is actually a Windows Media video. If you're on a Mac, you'll need "Flip4Mac" which is software that lets QT play WMV. On a PC, you may want to save the file, (perhaps optionally?) change the extension to .wmv, and play it in Windows Media.[/quote]

Thanks, tried it, but it didn't work. "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file." So we're back to "which codec do I need ...?"

What OS are you using?

Lets hope that we win this weekend

I don't know what Codec Art is using but I have tried this on two PCs one of which has a bunch of codecs and with more than three players.  I haven't done any research to attempt to install more playing ability.

And I also tried to convert it with "Super" a free video conversion utility - all for naught.

First, thanks for posting the video for the benefit of all.  

I did a little bit of digging and I don't think Windows or Linux users will be able to view the video.  As some people have mentioned above, the file container is .MOV, but the video stream inside of it is WMV3. Ironically*, with flip4mac, mac users can play this video through quicktime, but the windows quicktime player will not  (it can open it and play the audio stream, but not the video.)  Renaming the extension won't help because the container is .MOV.

I've tried VLC and a few other tools to extract the WMV3 stream, but none were successful.  If some nice Mac user were to export it to a quicktime or MP4, I think everyone would be able to see the goal.  I mean no goal.

* - It's ironic because WMV3 is a microsoft format (sort of.  It's actually their implementation of a standard, VC-1, but of course it only was ever implemented on windows, until flip4mac came along.)

More to the point, I have no reason to expect that anybody has posted a video clip in the game thread that would precisely answer a point I make in the post-game thread; in fact, I would be surprised to see something like that in the game thread instead of in the post-game thread.

Clearly you underestimate our esteemed host.

A little birdy tells me Andrew J. Noel punished the band for waving newspapers during the Princeton player introductions -- now in a thread people will read!

He really has too much time on his hands.  I wonder if I'm getting my money's worth out of his reign of good behavior?

It was for waving papers during the Princeton "senior night ceremony", which took the place of their player introductions. Although with the shitty PA system in Baker, it'd be almost plausible for bandies to claim they didn't know it was something other than the starting lineup being introduced.

But hey, at least the band didn't say "sucks", right?

Maybe Andy would rather have the pep band that shows up midway through the first period... ::rolleyes::

It wasn't just for "waving papers" - they also loudly chanted "boring" during the senior night introductions.  And there was absolutely no mistaking the senior night introductions for anything other than what they were, especially after the first one.  I'm not an Andy Noel fan, but I don't blame him at all.  The band should know better, that was classless.

If I was the Princeton AD, I'd be more concerned with why I don't have a band in the building until 7:30, and why 30-40 Cornell fans can be heard over the (non-existent) cheering of a couple thousand (non-existent) Princeton fans honoring their Senior Class during the team's best season in 10 years, than I would be with soliciting letters of apology from the opponent's band.

But he chooses what battles to pick. In fairness, he did chose the much easier one.

Shockingly, none of what you said makes what our band did any less stupid or classless.

Beeeej is right: The fans throughout the rink (Cornell fans) waved papers and chanted "Boring" - as did perhaps the pep band (I couldn't see them from my seat then). It was during the senior night introductions, that much was clear, even if the PA system wasn't crystal clear. In adult hindsight, what transpired was sophomoric: Cornell partisans interrupted a ceremony for Princeton seniors and their families. It must have been embarrassing to Princeton. But still.

Outside the rink, much is made of being polite and correct to others with racial, religious, physical disability (sorry: physical difference), or ethnic diversity, so some might argue: Why can't we just respect academic-choice diversity and shut up for the three minutes of the senior night intros? Or do we need some place to break away from rigid PC-ness?

I believe Cornell would have been classier if we let Princeton honor its seniors without any input from the Big Red side. I still think Scrivens and Nash need to win games for Cornell, not the fans. We can be supportive but not the deciding factor.
