QuickTime Plug In

In my ongoing issues with YouTube, I’ve decided that I needed to find another solution for posting videos. Sure, Vimeo is still a great choice, but I want to have another option ready to go in case they start caving to the thoughtless record company known as WMG.

I have decided to go with QuickTime. You will need to have QuickTime enabled on your browser(s) in order to view this. Every Mac user has this built-in, but Windows and Linux users may not. I will continue to upload to Vimeo, but should the hired goons find their way to that site, then the QuickTime option will be the only option I will provide.

QuickTime has several advantages: the quality is nice, it works on not-so-newer systems [I’ve tested it on my daughter’s Powermac G4 and it works better than YouTube or Vimeo] and it’s hosted locally on my site. It can be slow to buffer, but once it’s fully buffered, it works.

So give it a try and see if you like it. Hit me up in the comments and let me know what you think.

    GENIUS!

    Though I do think it’s important to wash your coffee mug from time to time… and Dawn is just great for that because it takes grease out of your way!

    Hiya Really enjoyed that 🙂

    Opened my eyes to Depeche mode which is a something new and the video was awesome.

    dave2 – Thank you. I thought you would like this one. I tried to find something else like lye or toilet bowl cleaner, but we didn’t have either in the house.

    iron fist – Thank you. Much appreciated.

    catherine – *blush* thanks. Nice to see a dedicated Scooter Sunday fan give praise.

    penelope – wow… such praise. Thank you. And I do the same thing with a lot of the songs I hear now… I think of the related video I did.

    rachel – Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it.

    lee brookes – Welcome to the blog (thanks Penelope). And glad to see a new Depeche Mode fan.

    tori – Thank you for the kind words and glad you liked it.

    ren – wow… even a backwards word of praise. .sknahT

    Good shit Marty… Glad to see you have started using FCE rather than iMovie… I will have questions… LOL…

    The player worked fine on my Windows 7 box with IE8… I was expecting issues but there were none. I’m a DM fan but I’ve not heard that song before, so I’m glad to have been introduced in this way.

    Great vid!

  • martymankins Post author

    breakaway9 – Yes, FCE is now (and has been since Snowy Sunday Episode 13) used for all of my videos. iMovie is only around for previous videos. I never could figure out iMovie 08 well enough to be able to put together frustration free videos each week.

    kevin – Why thank you. You are another I thought that would like that (still waiting to hear from kapgar, who I know is a big DM fan).

    whall -Good to know that my videos are IE8 and Windows 7 ready. Now waiting on the Windows 7 RC download. And glad I took a DM fan a bit further into their latest catalog.

    Brilliant… love the bit with the sunglasses.

    I’m just glad you didn’t tape yourself to the scooter. 🙂

  • martymankins Post author

    nat – Thank you. But taping myself to the scooter would have wasted a lot of duct tape.

    xisor – Thanks, Tim. I thought you would like this one.

  • kilax

    Did you use Depeche Mode another time? I think I remember saying that was the first time I’ve ever heard their music. If not, then THIS was the first time. Ha ha.

    LOL! I am still laughing at the beginning! It was pretty creppy to see the cars driving backwards 😉

    The shots of the mountains are beautiful!

  • kapgar

    I’m sorry to leave you waiting… I have no idea how I missed this video. Then I was watching the new one and saw it was Episode IV and thought, “there’s no way. I’ve only seen two so far.” But I did miss it. I’m so sorry. And this is so brilliant that it makes me even sorrier.
