Very, very cool. Thanks a lot! But why on earth use RealVideo? Tuts are great to have offline, too,
especially if they are complex and will have to be viewed repeatedly (for the slower ones among us to get the point, heh) or if you have some time to kill somewhere without Internet access and would like to view them there and then.

RealVideo and Windows Media Video are a pain to deal with, you have to use the client from the provider of the proprietary codec, and also have to deal with the negative stuff that comes with them, instead of choosing your own favorite media player (VLC for instance). Oh, well. CocoaJT took care of the D/L, but ffmpegx could only make AVI's, not MPG's or anything else. Rats…

On blenderartist there's a thread about this site. And in this thread there's a unix script to capture all the streaming video's. All in all it takes 1 GB of diskspace and you have a total time of 5.5 hours of video.

I still haven't asked Neil how he's coming along on his conversion of the movies to .MOV

The tutorials are great. Would it be possible to download everything all at once rather than individually?

I'm a Blender newbie and this is perfect timing! Some of the early tutorials helped reinforce the fundamentals I already knew; the rest are getting me up to speed much faster than I would have been able to by myself.

If you're new to 3D in general, try these video tutorials:

Great news. I was about to complain about the real media thing too. Thanks a lot for the link to Real Alternative, though. I do have to use it once in a while…

These videos, since there are so many, would be great as a torrent once converted! :D
