I would like to ask what you all are using to open these .mov files, Every thing I have tried has failed and I would really like to view them.

Thank you for putting it up in h.264, simply the best compromise between quality and file size.

It's great to be guided to understand why the rigging was done in a certain way instead of another one.
Just "deconstructing"(reverse engineering?) the files on the ED dvd it's impossible to fully understand the ideas behind the armature set-up. (may be this happens because is more magic than science!) .
And now: there it is, the video it is shows briefly but fully the secret recipe. Of course I need to go back and play with the Eno's hand file myself, and try to make my owne single finger hand, and play with it … great! stimulating!

There is no plan to move these nice video into more "formal" tutorials? I would be glad to help…
To have a tutorial "Emo'hands secrets" would be great!

Thanks to the ED and to the Blender Team for sharing the wisdom!

@Willie, I think you should go download VLC and be happy.

Thanks for posting the video Bart… 5 hours to download and it was worth it! (Currently redoing some of my own hand/finger rigs.)

@Omar, I didn't mean you were a codec geek, I meant that, even though I'm into Blender, animation and rendering, I'm not one. I tend to concentrate on learning modeling, texturing, rigging and such. As far as codecs go, I use the first one I try that works. And like you, I prefer open standard, open source and cross platform.

@Michael Crawford:You didn't get me, I am for AVC standard - thus h.264, thus mp4 - but i don't like to promote closed software (especially designed for limited platform :] )
In fact, i just wanted to remind you h.264 isn't Quicktime™ or Apple.

@Willie: you know, i'm not a CODEC geek but i like to know what i use especially when i'm evolving in OSS world, sorry if i take care about interoperability.

Please, don't forget you are using open softwares.

cheers
