Can't you view the clips?

Are you trying to view them in WinAmp? If so you might be having the same problem as me. Do you have Real Player? What I did was click on the first clip link, which automatically downloaded to one of my temporary internet file folders and when finished it started WinAmp, but for some reason I couldn't get anything. So I looked at the properties for the folder destination and then opened Real Player and tried to open the file there, but that didn't seem to work either. So I right clicked on the first link again and clicked on Save target as and chose a suitable destination. When it finished downloading I opened Real Player and opened the downloaded file there. It gave me an Illegal operation message, so I tried again and it worked. So I then downloaded the other two.

I have already downloaded them, but I couldn't get them to play. I haven't tried all that stuff yet Moana, so I'll give it another go.

Try using Windows Media Player, I used it and it worked for me.

Just a breif post to state that Televirtual have added another clip:
http://televirtual.com/news2.htm

Note the text has changed. Gone is the designed as two 10-12 minute slots and in its place is...

Televirtual now intends to deliver downloadable sequences to this development section, so that interested parties may explore the workings and potential of this new entertainment form. In any case, decisions as to the final form will inevitably be left to the broadcasters.

The latest entity, as demonstrated, is configured as a children's show. It is just as likely that this exercise will result in family or adult entertainment.

So knightmare of old fans there is still a possibility to play the new version.

I don't think that's quite what it says, Broll. It says that the show will be appropriate viewing for kids and adults alike. Whether or not adults will be allowed to play in it is another matter.

Well, the target audience of the show will most likely be similar to or match the age range of teams.

Oops - mistake in the updated blurb: where it mentions last month's playtest, it should read "May 18th and 19th" and not June.

Yes there is a small error there, but I do like that video and the puzzle. Reminds me of the S4 swinging axe puzzle, and the birds eye view looks most excellent, too.

(Sorry to clog the place with posts - this is my last one)

Perhaps the best bit of the revised blurb, imo:

"...there is evidence to suggest that Knightmare had more of an enduring impact on the generation that viewed it so avidly, than any other children's television programme so far documented."

Yup, I'd go along with that.

HStorm · Post by **HStorm** » 09 Jun 2004, 18:16

Indeed.

Well that and Maid Marian And Her Merrie Men of course. (Sheer class!)

The clip takes ages to load, doesn't it? I've waited 10 mins and it's only 5% done!

TheBrollachan · Post by **TheBrollachan** » 09 Jun 2004, 20:19

I used Windows Media Player and it loaded within about 10 seconds (I do have broadband though)

Hmm Lord Fear's up to his old tricks there then. Ooh Drassil, you might get a mention.

Post by **Drassil** » 09 Jun 2004, 20:54

Sorry, Moana - I don't understand! Do you mean Drassil, or Lissard? Or should I wait and see the new clip (which won't run on this PC)?
