Thread: Sound advice for newbies

BTW, the Superfly videos in the archives won't work on my setup. I have downloaded them but can't play them - won't recognize the format.

What a great benefit it would be to have another of the Honemeisters make a video on Honing and Stropping - much like Lynn did with his shaving video... I know many of the newbs (especially myself) would benefit from seeing them. Cover some of the issues involved with each process.

Sorry for the double post.

They are coded with Xvid codec, for smallest size. Let the media player update online, or download the XviD or DivX codec from the net. There is a plan to redo them in something more familiar...

xvid may be downloaded here.
Alternatively, the much more comprehensive decoder ffdshow can be downloaded here. FFDShow is abit more advanced, however. It's what I use and its decoding libraries decode 45 or so different video compressions.
