Folks,
The site with direct link does not exist anymore. Despite this was a paid hosting plan, there were issues with downloading the files. It was slooooow, the download often broke prematurely and one did not get the complete file. I guess they were designed more for web page presentation rather than downloading huge files. This site kept me busy all the time. There were attempts to put them to other ftp servers but it did failed as well, I guess the volume was too large.
The streaming was one of the reasons why I put it on vimeo…after some experiments with other services.
You can also DOWNLOAD the complete file from there and it works reliably…BUT YOU HAVE TO REGISTER to do that (sorry for that). Then the download button is on the right bottom corner. As far as I know this works quite reliably.
The avi files were about 70MB. I have re-mastered the files in original resolution, and used slightly less compression, and did some more editing – cut the most boring empty time, tried to fix the crappy volume and added the presentation part.
If your bandwidth does not allow you to download the files, let me know, I'd send them the files on DVD.
Cheers
Vaclav

These videos used to have direct links as avis. Anyone knows if such links still exist?

I agree with ATB, being able to download them would be so helpful.

cheers,

ALvaro

For those who wanna download videos on youtube and vimeo, the extension of firefox "downloadhelper" does it perfectly (without having to register on vimeo and look for the links)

Maxim,
You may recall that Tim took over for Bart recently. When he did he did not get all the suggestions for articles that were uploaded earlier. I had to resubmit the article about the Blender Conference in Kingsport, a second time, because it was in this transitionary period. Remember, both Tim and previously Bart are not required to work at this at all. They have done this as a favor to us all.

I have just finished watching part 1. It was great and very useful. I learned a lot. I had trouble viewing the video until I watched it from the vimeo site after registering. I can hardly wait to watch parts 2 and 3. Thanks.
