I'm giving the new link a try with my old computer. It says about 4 and a half hours, so let's see what happens

Downloading.

Is there anyone that has this file that has their own website able to post this to their server? I'm on a T1 and i'm getting 50k down. These file sharing sites are really bad for large files.

jasondef · 02-27-06, 08:29 PM

Downloading now, looks like it'll take about 1hr, 40min

trenken · 02-27-06, 08:37 PM

^ It started off pretty strong for me. After a half hour, it died. I tried it again, same thing happened.

jasondef · 02-27-06, 08:43 PM

Hmm, I'll see what happens. Been about 20 minutes so far, approaching the half hour barrier! Can wmv files be compressed to a RAR or ZIP or anything?

No a good idea.
When an image is compressed, it looses quality. The same apply for video.

Let's wait for somebdy gets the whole file, to upload it to a server or eMule or BitTorrent.

trenken · 02-27-06, 09:42 PM

Yes, the video should be been zipped up.

trenken · 02-27-06, 09:44 PM

Von Capo,

He doesnt mean compress, as in rerender the video to make it smaller. He meant compress as in zip the file up in an attempt to make it a smaller download, then you unzip it and watch. It could have knocked off a nice chunk of that file size.

I tried it 3 times and each time it starts off strong at about 200k download, then it drops to like 50k after a while.

jasondef · 02-27-06, 09:51 PM

Download successful!! I was thinking that zipping it up didn't reduce quality. I could zip it up now if someone could host it? I could email it or something to someone zipped up, either in zip or rar format...

Now the question is, do I watch it now, or go play on my first patrol with my new IX-C newly upgraded from my old VII-B with just the right timing to go help the BismarK?! Tough decision...

Check this please: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...italvideo.mspx

"""With text files, size is less important because the files are full of â€œspacesâ€ and can be compressed very tightlyâ€”a text file can be made at least 90 percent smaller, resulting in a high compression ratio (the ratio of compressed data to uncompressed data).
Other file types, like MPEG video or JPEG photos, hardly compress at all because they're in a format that's tightly compressed to begin with."""

But, if you get some compression, it will be expending image quality.

A technical explanation: when you decompress a image the pixel pattern never will be the same than the original one. Sometimes this is unnoticeable, sometimes not.
Example: An original file has 100K
After compression it has 30K
After decompression it has 100K again.
But the original pixel pattern had been changed forever.

Just watched the first 20 minutes. Looks like long hours were put into this one! Thanks for all the effort and hard work!

The sound and music quality is great on my little desktop speakers. And the Das Boot theme music is always a winner in my book.

Looks like very nicely done SH3 exterior view movies and some sub-interior free-movement movies, with "borrowed" Das Boot footage spliced in (hopefully legal, but not my concern) good idea!

The Das Boot sequences kept the original German language, with Chinese subtitles. Any plans for a version with English subtitles? I've seen Das Boot a million times, but i still don't have all the dialog memorized! (Not quite yet, anyway)

Will resume later, must get some playtime in before bedtime!!

From your article at:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...italvideo.mspx
See this paragraph:

"Lossless compression
The term lossless means â€œno loss of data.â€ When a file is compressed in a lossless fashion, 100 percent of the data is still there, much like when you zip a documentâ€”the document file gets smaller, but all the words are still there when you unzip it. You can save lossless video over and over without any loss of dataâ€”compression simply squeezes that data into a smaller space. Lossless compression saves less space because you can compress data only so much before you have to start discarding information."

My understanding is that "zipping" files sort of rearranges the data so it fits in a smaller space, without taking away data. Like packing a house to move. You put all your furniture and possesions into boxes so they'll fit into a small truck, like "zipping". Then when you get to the new house, you "unpack" the boxes, restoring the furniture and possesions to they're previous state, like "unzipping".

I'm not an expert at this so I could be wrong, but that is how I had it explained to me once.

Zipping up a file does nothing to the video quality. There is 2 different kinds of compressions when it comes to file. Zipping is just to get a single large file, or multiple files, smaller in size. Zipping does not work well on a single small file though. But in this case, it might have been worth trying.

The other kind of compression refers to the codecs used when rendering a video to get the file size smaller. This does effect the quality and is not something that can be fixed unless the video is rerendered either using different settings, or a different codec all together.

So I was suggest that if this file could be zipped, and uploaded someone, even if it is file front. If the file size is smaller, more people will get to see all the hard work that apparently went into this.
