#3>    Video on my PhotoBucket of Cast a and about 1/3 of b.  (2008.02.16)

#4>  (2008.02.16)  Video of Cast "a" and Cast "b" The "a" has Jules in it. Usually this will run after you click on the picture and then click again and/or "enter" and/or push the space bar. They have black icons because it starts black so I arranged it with the "a" Cast first and then the "b" cast. Do not give up if it doesn't work the first time. Try a few times and let me know if you still cannot get to play. It uses a format called "flv" and you might need to get a "codec" for it to play; let me know and we will figure it out.

#7>     (3/20/08)    A bigger file of the audition  (2008.02.16)    http://www.donredding.com/20080216.toobigforsmug.mpg
This should play in Windows Media Player (or Real Player).  On your XP computer, copy the link below. Open Windows Media Player and then click on the "file" menu and get to the "open URL" and click and paste in the address. This worked on my Xp whereas on my Vista it opens just by clicking on the link, but not in XP.The file is about 305 mg which will take some time to load (10 minutes +/-) although if your cache/buffer is working,  it might begin playing soon after enough has downloaded. Be patient and give it time to open even if the computer does not seem to be doing anything. Just now it took my computer 2 minutes before it began playing and it might take longer on yours since it has played  before on mine.The original DVD VOB file was 800mg and the ones we have tried before are 30mg+/ so this might be better as it is bigger than we used before.. After the first playing, subsequent playing might  be faster loading.

As time goes by, I will update it if there are things to report. I will tell you when there are significant changes

The links worked for me on Windows Mdia Player in a Vista Machine and an XP machine. Some will not work on my W98 machine.


I am listing  below the work I have done. The video I did is  about the same as I usually do, which is not very good, but maybe it will  be ok

#1>    Here is a link to the Photos  - on Jules' Smugmug  - of the Audition by Ms. Autry. As you know, try different "styles." Also, I think you can add comments which I will see before they show to the public, if you want to make notes on any.

#3>    Link to a video on my PhotoBucket. This is about 10 minutes long so some is cut off. Sometime later I might split up and upload again.

The quality of the photos you sent me is outstanding. I did not send them up to Smugmug with the highest quality because it takes 5 times longer, but I will some night if we decide we want to have the best quality

I did not do as well with the video. I have several programs but  it never seems to let me  get the quality video on line I want. Of course I am having to compress them a lot and that takes some quality out.

Please try all the links and let me know what problems you have.

Great show. Thanks to Bob for his help. Way to go Jules.

Look forward to Part 2 !

Try this and tell me what happens .

If this works, I would be interested in how the dvd one is better.

This should play in Windows Media Player (or Real Player).  On your XP computer, copy the link below. Open Windows Media Player and then click on the "file" menu and get to the "open URL" and click and paste in the address. This worked on my Xp whereas on my Vista it opens just by clicking on the link, but not in XP.The file is about 305 mg which will take some time to load (10 minutes +/-) although if your cache/buffer is working,  it might begin playing soon after enough has downloaded.
