Technical Difficulties

Is anyone else having trouble downloading Overkill 68?  The video keeps coming up scrambled for me.  This is a big frustration, since Ms. #4 has always been one of my favorites and easily has one of the best orgasm faces on the site!

That's the only one that's been giving me that problem.  It runs fine through the web browser, though.  Any suggestions??

Re: Technical Difficulties

It worked fine for me when I downloaded it.

Re: Technical Difficulties

Nope, still not working right.  I just tried it again.

I think it might have something to do with the different proportions.  All I see are diagonal bands.  This computer I'm on doesn't have any other players, so I guess I'll try that next.  Everything else is fine.

Re: Technical Difficulties

Hey there PC elmo, i'm wondering what player your using? As far as i am aware the new video proportioning shouldn't affect playback at all.

Re: Technical Difficulties

I guess I may have found a quirk!

I've been using InterVideo's "WinDVD" viewer, and even the latest two Overkills run fine on it, including the odd proportions of two normal agonies side-by-side.  #4's OK (OV0068 I think?) is the only one that comes up with the video scrambled.

Fortunately, though, the Quicktime viewer seems to run it without error.  So it's not a total frustration, just kinda wierd.

Re: Technical Difficulties

Oh, and I am talking about the MPG files.  I've never downloaded anything specifically for quicktime (if there is one).

Re: Technical Difficulties

I have the same problem, except I can download and extract them OK, they just don't play. Comes up with errors Microsoft VB C++ script error or some damn thing. Only happens with OVOO57-69 68 plays fine! Using WMP10 (tried it with WMP9, same problem) All the other mpg files played fine, go figure.

Re: Technical Difficulties

I suddenly can't watch any videos. I click on the pic and get a Windows Media player but it doesn't launch. I have the latest version of the player.

Anyone else having trouble?

Re: Technical Difficulties

Jakeview, have you tried just downloading the videos first?

Re: Technical Difficulties

Thanks, Bish. Yeah, that works. Just curious why I can't download video immediately like I could a couple of days ago. I wonder if BA changed their download configuration somehow.

Nope.  Not as far as I know anyway.

Re: Technical Difficulties

Just downloaded overkill 71. I can watch it by clicking on the image on the webpage. However, when I download/extract it still does not play. All the regular agonys I can download/extract and play without a problem!

Re: Technical Difficulties

Here are the specifics, because I really want to find out why I'm suddenly having problems and if anyone else has experienced this:

I open the BA homepage and click on the picture of the file I want to watch. The media player opens and I'm prompted for my username and password. I reply and click ok. The prompt window disappears and the media player resolves, but instead of "connecting" I get a "closed" message at the bottom.

Any tech-savvy folks out there who can troubleshoot this? I haven't changed anything on my pc and I have the latest Windows player.

Thanks!

Re: Technical Difficulties

I had that problem at first as well. Ended up uninstalling wmp9 then reinstalled wmp10. There are instructions on how to solve this in the Help section. After reinstalling wmp, it worked.

Re: Technical Difficulties

Wow, that's totally different from the quirk I found.  I don't even know what plug-ins my browsers use -- I almost always try to download first.

When in doubt, though, I usually blame it on Microsoft.  I know, it's cliche, but it's also usually a safe bet (uninstall/re-install, re-boot, etc.).

No kidding!

That's like comparing Apples to ...... eh non-Apples!

By the way, the problem went away!
