Iggy Goal

[CM cWo 44]

I realize this, however ESPN clips have been posted in the past, and I thought they may have gotten clearence, or it may be considered public domain, I guess we'll wait to hear from the webmaster(s)

anyone else having trouble playing the clip?  the sound is fine but the vid freezes half-way down the ice

Bset shot of it was on USCHO, were they showed Iggy airborne putting it in.. Incredible effort !!! :-)

All I get from Windows Media Player is the sound - no video at all.  Do I need to download a plugin?

Yes, some kind of DivX 5.2.1 will make it work for both Windows Media Player and RealPlayer.  Do so and you will enjoy the clip (again and again and again...)  :-)

Once I downloaded the necessary software, I was able to view the entire video, no problem.

Does anyone have the link for the plugin so I can view the entire video of the Iggy goal? Pleasse!!

I believe the clip is DivX-encoded, so just search for DivX codecs on Google.

www.divx.com, and download divx lite

Damn, it's taking a long time to catch up on all the treads...

Anyway, there are two issues. It's certainly ESPN copyrighted content. There are two ESPN clips on ELynah: the selection show, and the BC goal. On the latter, I just couldn't help myself. On the former, I wouldn't have figured they'd care much. It's not like it got a whole mess of views either. All other clips from TV are ECAC broadcasts, which I have permission to use.

The other issue is that it's DivX. I won't make ELynah patrons go download codecs to view content. Everything on the site works with QuickTime 6 built-in codecs. So the combination of the activation energy to reencode the video and the copyright question is keeping me from putting it up at the moment. However, later on, when things die down, I'll probably do it anyway, just because it's too good not to keep for posterity. Or I may just encode video from my source to avoid the double compression.

Meh.  It all plays fine in kaffeine for me.

Actually, QT ran the video without a hitch for me, but the audio cut out after the first second.  I MAY have installed a DivX codec for QT, if that's possible, but if I did it was a long while ago - probably when I bought the powerbook.  I'll try it in VLC, which should play DivX stuff without a hitch, and see if the sound and video runs properly.

Edit - VLC runs it just fine, so I guess QT is missing part of the audio codec, at least on my system.

[CowbellGuy]

You can install the DivX codecs and it will play fine in QuickTime, but I won't require ELynah's patrons to do that.

[jaybert]

what do you want it encoded as?  I still have the raw files and can do wahtever

(and what do i need to use to do it)

[Tom Lento]

Ok, so I must have installed DivX at some point, but I'm probably a version behind since the audio doesn't work right.

Jason - I think you need QT Pro, but I could be wrong about that.
