The movies were taken with the "movie" feature of a digital still camera, which generated a file with a type
of "avi". This page shows a thumbnail of one frame from each of the movies.
Click on the photo to download and run the movie on your PC. As a trial, I have included two different setups for playing the
movies - the first should use the Windows Media Player on a Windows PC, and the second should use whatever program your PC
is set up to play files with the "avi" file extension.
I have reduced the size of the files by cutting off the frames before or after the "real" action, and by removing the sound,
which was some wind noise and a single "whoosh" - not much value!.
========
Notes:- When I first set up this page, I had QuickTimePlayer 4 set on my PC to be the default program to play
"avi" files. This played the movies OK directly from the PC hard drive. But QuickTimePlayer 4 would start up OK, but would not
play the movies which it downloaded from the website. I upgraded to QuickTimeViewer 5 from Quicktime downloads and now the movies download and play OK.
You need a "vids:mjpg" decompressor to decode these movies. If you get a message "can't find vids:mjpg decompressor",
the file you need is at http://www.sm-art.hu/link/ and select mcjpg30.zip
Windows Media Player, and other programs, can play "avi" files. So if these don't start up and play the movies automatically,
you can try right clicking on the image in the page which comes up after the main Movies page, and downloading and saving the
"avi" file to your local hard drive, and using your default movie player to view the movie by double clicking on the file name.
