Luckily Levellass should have a 100Mbps connection before too long. Hopefully the NZ government won't screw it up like the AU one seems to have.

Haha, it is a bit disappointing. My most major concern is bloody Conroy's censorship program - we'll need the NBN to cope with the speed losses, and let's not talk of the major issues in what will be censored. It IS down in some small regions of Tasmania, I can't remember who on this forum is from Tassie but I know a member newer than I am is. So, if they read this, are you anywhere near the new installation?

At least Aussie net is not TOO bad compared to other developed nations given our population density.

I shouldn't think the government will fix things, our biggest telco is just about to collapse itself. The second biggest is Australian.

LLa: FLV is used for all low quality video, and it uses the 3GP codec. Make sure not to confuse container formats and codecs here, plenty of people do.
So the only difference between those options is the extension used? I can't play .3GP video.

Well, no. The container format dictates *how* the audio, video and possibly extra data are stored inside the file, no matter *what codec* said audio and video use. So While you might be able to play h.264, if your player can't access the video inside the file because it doesn't know how to handle the container format, you're out of luck. An FLV file that has been renamed to .avi would still be an FLV file, internally, so just changing the extension doesn't help either.

You can rely on players like SMPlayer or VLC playing back by far most formats inside many different containers, though.

I'm considering doing this, but I'd save a demo instead.

BTW, there is one FLAW in your comment. See if you can :spot it.

Nice work!

I'm very impressed.
But it's too bad you had too go through all that just to find out that what we all believed to be another Oracle (Because we all believed that, right?) was just the janitor.

Actually, there's only one Oracle (yeah, I used to call them oracles too when I was little), the machine in the end. You mean Council Members, aka Gnosticene Ancients, aka Guardians of Wisdom, aka Great Bearded Ones ;)
