div-x sound can be mp3 technology
i would love the bongoes too, cus i have a thing for em! but we're talking about creating the lowest possible hurdles for non-broadband people!
everything included in the final version must be justified, especially if further compression compromises quality.
When in doubt, render your maximum and minimum crispness and see if the difference justifies the added size. Keep in mind that a copied sound never gets better than the original (unless you have 1337 audigy sound hardwarez)
As for bitrate, it refers to how much data is allocated for each second of sound, measured in kilobits per second.
as a general rule..

• 64k makes me cry ang gnash my teeth aka radio. High frequencies like the letter 's' sound like a farting bouncy castle. Low bassy frequencies are all but legend in this realm.
• 128k is quite accepted as the slightly off CD quality bitrate. It is what most mp3z sound like. I listen on SonyMDJ700 Monitors, and if you know what they are, you can take my word for it that 128k is closer to CD sound than it is not. The excellentest compromise for quality to compactness. at this rate, it is a rule of thumb that you get a minute at this quality for a megabyte of data.
• 320k the 'what-are-you-fucking-crazy?' bitrate - more filesize for little extra quality. Records detail that u usually can't hear on most speakers/headphones. Fills up your harddisk tho
  

There are many other bitrates, but these are the three main attributes at different ends of the scale.
also, there is sampling fequency - how many times a sample is taken per second, measured in hurts. it's called hurts cus of the curse of the Gabba. For you see Gabba harms all.
The roof is usually 44kilohurts, and for the purposes of other cablers wanting to hear the bongo, ya should export at the rate of skunk's original file.
*phew*!
ah now let's talk firetwirling.
I like fire.

yeah mate, this is soo good! random bored people will have an online teaser for mad firey shiznit and will take the bait!!! like i said,.. sooo good! i can only speak for myself, but cool vids are sweet! i have gigabytes of that stuff! mmm monkies picking bum footage anyone?

bender, you ate the fermented bananas left out in the sun!

ha! i was looking for just that not too long ago and couldn't find too much, so i just posted one of my old videos on my weak html page...currently only a 20mb broadband version exists but there should be a divx version soon that will be much smaller for those of you who are bandwidth deficient...

it is a full unedited video, i screw up a couple times and it gets really dark at the end (see if you can make out the btb thread the needle at the end right after the "nad warmer" between the leg stall) all those moves are much smoother now too...but hey, isnt that always the case when you make a video, a week later you got 10 new moves that you want in there...

anyway enjoy
Skunk skunk.13378u.org
i will post here when the divx is up if you guys so require

Skunk

so bender, WHERE DO WE DOWNLOAD WHAT WE NEED?

come on, here's another banana, when you tell us! (* extends bottle of banana rum, waves it like a . . . banana at da Offender *)

uh if what you need is the video, it's ain't done yet, but will be as soon as friday night wears off my head tomorrow afternoon
if the need was for the means to publish divx, than I can send you a *cough*personal backup*cough*
I'll most likely delete this post before witness protection finds out...

PM Topic: bender, get back AGAIN to Skunk's vid thread AND

please tell us all there where to download the DivX reader, and for those interested, the creator/ editing programs!

thanx

~ Mike

damn...

looks like demand is rising...

ok so i played with some 3ivx codec right now, not exactly divx but seems smooth enough for my purposes...

tried to keep it somewhat high quality, so right after i post this message and scramble to upload and finally go to bed already, your next adventure will begin:

open page to google...find out some information about the 3ivx plugin, get whatcha needXx0rZ, and proceed to download and play skunkwebspin3ivxpart1 and skunkwebspin3ivxpart2 (sorry no links they are not up yet but will be in moments)..6.3 and 5 megs, respectively. i don't know why the first came out bigger than the second, i had the same exact settings and they are just as long...but anyway

bender please keep up your good work and services for fire playing humanity, and put up some divx maybe you can get it compressed a bit more than i, i currently do not have time to play with video compression...

tomorrow after work i am heading down towards sniper country, away from technology the bane of my existence for the weekend, so when i come back i can post bender's link to my page...if anybody can figure out exactly what is needed to make your machine play the movie let me know and i will post the link next to the movies...

aight here's the review so far:

the page:
skunk's lame page

the monster movie you should never need to download again:
20mb monstrosity

the new, improved, somewhat artificially brightened smaller vidZ that you guys want, with the mysterious 3ivx codec which is freely available somewheres on this wonderful web of information:
3ivx part 1
3ivx part 2

once again, that first one is 6.3mb and the second is 4.9 or something like that, much more webdicap friendly...

ok nighty night
sweet dreams
good luck

PS ok lemme be super robust and point you in the right direction for 3ivx:

***DOWNLOAD NOW or the bunny gets it!***
Skunk's video as a 4Mb Div-X ;-) 4.02 file is available for download here

thank skunk for the performance he has shared with us all. It's a generous as it is brave!

skunk, i'll send it to ya tonight if i can. thanks man.
(your vid as a divx is almost half the width and a fifth of the file size. no sound was kept for this minium size version.)

(no bunnies were harmed in the ranting of this post..)

i thought i posted a reply already but i guess it fell victim to dr. Glitchenstein...

anyway thanks kindly bender for your masterful compression. too bad about losing alex's drumming he is good and getting better all the time but whatchagonnado we have to be considerate to 56k'ers (btw you guys that are 56k'ers what the hell you waiting for get some broadband dammit!!! internet or DIE!!!)

excuse me. i get carried away as my life nowadays gets increasingly technology-centric. i will put that vid up on my website today at some point, so bender if you are worried about hosting bandwidth you can take it down...

like i think i've said before i hope this inspires a wave of similar video postings around the world wide web.

Skunk

yep looks like it is

Skunk, thats Wicked collection of between the leg moves you've got there.
cool

Drew

[Now we all get to sit back and wait for Skunk to start bitchin' that some mallrats in Texas are stealin' his moves... ]

wait? you've been hearing it for years NYC...

but at least now its not stealing, it's a gift. it's only a matter of time before somebody else figgerZ it out so why not claim the moves as mine? all mine! muhahahahaha!!!!

thank you glass for the compliment i saw your vid too very nice contact staff. there is not much of that around these parts i will have to get our staffers on the job...

so far i got 8 MB out of the 20 MB, but unclear how much played for me, i'll check the timing dial next time.

i did try runnin it thru MPEG Scissors 1.4.0 to tie off the loose end, but didn't work, so doesn't properly cover .mov.

got stuff to do on the line before i try downloadin more again, may well get one of those download mgrs afta all, dangit, thanx Bends for the suggestion. anyone got recommendation? GoZilla? another one which i think Bender mentions above & i'll check for later?

da drummin iz key, i can understand with this vid why Skunk knows it's not for choppin up.

well-o, now glass has kindly mentioned simple ole DivX.com as source of the player codec, will try that too, & eager ta see yours, glass!

. . .& Bendy's work on dis one.

~ Mike

oops it looks like i compressed it not on the best settings - uhm i think i will send it again in a bigger size.... silly Div-X encoders! I was confused about div-X 5 being so crap for compression (4 is smallest, 5 has the most features, 3 is for pirates. arr. arr.)

.avast.

hey glass, that outfit with the big triangular (cape? hood?) is the maddest! definitely if i ever get videotaped on the world news being beaten by security thugs at a anti-globalisation action, I'd wanna wear something so festive.

I could only download 3MB of the video...don't know why, darn computer just stopped downloading and i tried it twice. But what I did see...grrrr baby!

nyx tip for modemtastic joy.
get a download manager
like from freshdevices.com
allow download to resume if connection gets broken

saves loads of time

thanks glass! I'll try it later

yuh, guess i'll have 2 start usin one again too - next coupla weeks then.
