Fantastic - thanks for putting that up. Got no sound when I played it though - is that a problem with the film or my PC?

EDIT - it was my PC - film is even better with sound!

Ian

I have the account. When downloading I get so far then it seems to crash/freeze before completion every time.

Mike

Mike,

It freezes also every 30 sec here at my end. I'll pour a wee dram and take my time!

Perhaps to do with your internet connection or the use of the internet in your area - if you leave it till later you might have more bandwidth to play with

It can be viewed in "high" or "standard" quality(click the box top rhc of screen) in high quality it freezes up, but not in standard.

Love it, you guys had a ball. Sometimes it would be nice to live a little closer to the action.

Cheers

You can download and save a Facebook video fairly easily which gets round the slow connection probs. You just get the video from the cache folder on your PC.

If you are using internet explorer browser, watch full video from facebook then....
1. Go to Tools> internet options> settings> view files
2. You will find a large size file (about 20Mb) with long name and unknown type there.
3. Copy and paste that file to the desktop, this file is the video file in flv format.
4. Rename it with flv extension, example DDK.flv
5. If you don’t have FLV player, download free FLV player from here: http://www.applian.com/download_and_sub ... /flvplayer

Not sure about you Mac dudes :(

Great film BTW :wink:

Good call Doug - that really does make a difference!

Great vid 23e heure, I really enjoyed 'the feel' - all that was missing was a pastel blue 911T :wink: ..... which I feel may be rectified in 2010 8)
Cheers,
Vicki.

I bet the Porsche PR department ran a mile when they spotted all these 'mavericks' hooning up the Mulsanne in the name of publicity :lol:

So frustrating. No matter what I do it won't upload. Always cuts me off from my connection after a few minutes trying to upload. Never happened before. Any more suggestions?


Regards
Mike
