A test for Windows users..

[ticklevids]

This file is an Mpeg-4. I need to know if it works on windows machines running quicktime. If you don't have the latest quicktime, go to apple.com and download it.

Please post if this works or does not work for users here.


Thanks for your help ... and.... enjoy!

you may need to change the suffix to- .mp4

I did over here and then it worked. this board doesn't allow .mp4's as a file to upload, it's too new a format.

Hey ticklevids,

After following your instructions and udapting quicktime, and changing the suffix to mp4 it worked like a charm. In case you need to knowI am running windows XP.

Short but very sweet clip. What video is that from it looks intense.

Managed to.

Had to launch QuickTime alone. Update it. Deselect mp4 as a registered extension from my other player and manually register it under QuickTime.

But... it worked flawlessly. 🙂

Thanks and reg's.

Kalamos, Jeez... I hope it won't be as hard as that for everyone. Would say it was easy or difficult to make play? This format works great on my end for authoring so I just want it to be easy for everyone on the receiving end.

I guess what I'm asking is: Did it require a lot of skill to get it up and running or can anyone just follow the prompts? Thanks so much for the feedback. I truly appreciate it.

Actually I had difficulties... but if TJ videos returns- It's cause for celebration!!! About 10% of what I've ever posted on a few boards was a (trying to be) polite request for the return of that classic and legendary material....!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please tell us that you are going to do them on DVD release!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worked like a charm after I renamed the extension mp4. 😀

 

[deac956611]

must be doing something wrong. I can't seem to get it to work for me. Can someone help? I have renamed the file to .mp4. and I get nothing. Any ideas?

First, make sure you have quicktime player installed. Then, if you are using Windows 95 to XP, right-click on the file and choose save as... then choose as an appropiate application to use quicktime player. Finally make sure that there is no marks after mp4 in the extension. It should show a quick time icon and play in the quick-time player. 😀

I am [more or less 😀 ] computer literate, and like customizing my system a bit.
I routinely install new programs and codecs - and I am usually able to remove them when need arises.

I tuned my system to play most videos on the older Media Player [from Win98] - and wmv clips on Winamp. I set up the associations accordingly.

I think most people won't have too many problems *unless* they have a weird custom installation; but if they set up a custom config, they are likely skilled enough to change it. 🙂

Only possible gripe: it doesn't run on "vanilla" Windows Media Player/Winamp - not even with custom codecs. It required me to update QuickTime - some users can't or won't install/update it.

Plus: some people can't or won't touch file extensions too. Asking TT to add *.mp4 extension could be a solution to this.

Finally, hotlinking the dowload site, or hosting the required setup.exe might help. It is a common issue on user's part to forget updating the required components. 🙂

Hope my feedback was of help.
Thanks for the clip. 🙂


Reg's!

works fine: rename mp4 / Win XP / Qicktime

I got an error message saying it might not be an .mpeg file. It's much to short a clip for me to install quick time player and make all the "save to" and "file ext" changes. I will let all the computer pros do it and save myself a bunch of grief.

Mpeg 4 is an excellent format to use - it is an open standard, thus not controlled by Microsoft or Real and as such /should/ play on any media player that can decode mpeg4.

Windows Media version 9 and 10 actually use a distorted, fucked up form of mpeg4 that won't play on anything other than Windows Media Player.

You can wrap an mp4 file up into a Quicktime Movie wrapper so it has the extension .mov which wil always be associated with Quicktime player on both Mac and Windows. You need Quicktime Pro to do this, however.

I use Final Cut Pro and Compressor to make mpeg4 files then move them into Quicktime Pro to make them into .mov files, adding info and copyright info in the headers etc.

If you want to remain cross-platform but think mp4 is a bit too exotic, I would suggest Real format. As sucky as the company is, their Mac player does do what it says - play .rm files, which is more than I can say for the shitty, shitty port of Microsoft's player to the Mac which is very hit and miss.

 

[ticklevids]

Joham,

WMV's are out of the question, on principal alone. I actually do have quicktime pro and i did discover that i can simply export my mp4 into a mov. which is what I guess I'll do. I downloaded the Real Export plug in for quicktime, but it crashes every time I try to use it. I can go to any format but RA, the plug in just crashes imovie or quicktime every attempt. I also have final cut express, i was thinking of using that to lighten up some of my darker homemade tickle torture movies. think it would work?

Hi Ticklevids,
It worked like a charm for me and all I had to do was rename the extension to .mp4 it was already registered as a quicktime file on my system. I'm also using Windows XP. deac95661 you may want to try downloading and installing the latest version of Quicktime from apple.com. Unless you are using a slower computer with an older operating system. In that case you may not be able to get it to work.
Good Luck Thebordmanv

 

[cosquillero1]

Worked perfectly in my pc, i have win xp pro with Quicktime vers. 6. I didn't need to update my player, only renamed that extension into .mp4 and presto, all fine !!.

 

[Casadyrocks]

While I finally got that clip to work- Ticklevids, please don't leave us in suspense- Are you planning on re-releasing these outstanding works again?

While we have seen the onset of a great age in tickling videos over the past decade- your work is sorely missed (at least by me if not many others)-

If I may humbly request a future clip posting from Bill and L or perhaps anything with Jade especially ....It would be greatly appreciated- regards, Oscar

 

[ticklevids]

moderators.. can you contact the powers that be that run this board to accept mp4 uploads? It's an up and coming standard for video that more producers will be using...

 

[Kalamos]

In the meanwhile, the next best thing might be compressing the mp4s as zip or rar files.
Most people can open those and server recognizes them.

🙂

 

[ticklevids]

an excellent idea
