The Movie House

How to View the Videos: You can try just clicking on the link. If you do that, what's supposed to happen is that your media player opens and the video plays. Usually, though, what really happens is that you get starts and stops, and end up with more of a slide show than a motion picture. What I do is just download the video to my hard drive, and then watch it by double-clicking on the icon. To do that, place the mouse pointer over the link, and click the right mouse button. (If you've got a single-button mouse, just hold it down until the menu appears.) Then select "Save Target As..." from the menu that appears, and choose a location for the file. I use the Desktop, because then I never forget to delete the file or save it to a permanent location; the clutter annoys me, so I'm forced to clean it up. You could use a temporary directory, or whatever works for you. Enjoy.

Odd File Formats and How to View Them

Some of these videos are MPEG-2 files, which are of higher quality and allow you to view them full-screen with decent resolution. Unfortunately, they may not work with all versions of the Windows Media Player. So, you might need the VLC player. I've put version 0.8.6i here for you to download. If you have Windows 2000 or XP, it should just work without any trouble. If you have Windows 98, read on. (This procedure should work with Windows 95 as well, but I haven't tested it.)

For Windows 9x Users

Along with the VLC Player, you'll also need the Unicows Installation Package. You can also download it from Microsoft if you want to be cautious. When you run it, it'll ask you what directory you want to put the .DLL file in. Type in \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 and click Ok or Continue or whatever. You'll probably need to restart your computer. When you get back to the desktop, you can install the VLC Player, and it should work fine. You do not need to install this package if you're using Windows 2000 or XP.

Some of the files on this page are Flash Video files, which will also play with VLC. Basically, VLC should play any video on this page.

As a side note, I'd like to recommend you get a Windows 2000 upgrade if you're using Windows 95, 98, or Me. If you use the upgrade, you can keep all the settings and files you have now, and 2000 is far more stable. It also uses fewer resources than XP, so it'll run pretty well on slower systems. It'll cost some money, but you really should consider it if you can manage it financially.

Please note: On a couple older systems, I've found it necessary to reduce my video settings from 32-bit color to 24-bit or 16-bit in order to make the silly thing work. I don't know why, sorry.

The latest version of the VLC media player can always be downloaded at the Videolan website.
