Sorry for the last minute news, but anybody interested in Elite in the UK might want to watch Channel 5 tonight (Friday) at about 7.30 - I think.

Cheers.

A few lies (not least of which was they sold a copy of Elite for every BBC Micro) but on the hole a good documentary.

Would help if the full synopsis was quoted: managed to create the worlds first FULLY 3D computer game in their bedrooms.

Which is true.

It doesn't seem to work with Windows Media Player streaming through firefox.

Shoonay · 22 August 2008, 23:10

oh, shiiitz...

tonyyeb · 22 August 2008, 23:12

Anyone got tunebite? That can rip the streaming from the computers display (bit like fraps).

Merlin · 22 August 2008, 23:14

WMP 11 crashes on my machine when I access the site, what format is the video stream in?

Shoonay · 22 August 2008, 23:16

or maybe... you've got the official m$ wmp firefox plugin tonyyeb?

i've tried this on another site and it worked, maybe this one get's fooled too

right click on the movie, select [Properties], drag and select and copy the entire link from [File -> Location:] to here

should look something like this:

tonyyeb · 22 August 2008, 23:24

Where do i get the 'unofficial' WMP plugin for firefox?

Shoonay · 22 August 2008, 23:27

are you making fun of my speech difficulties?

here, would be a good start

tonyyeb · 22 August 2008, 23:30

Are you saying I should or should not have the official MS WMP plugin? I HAVE the Microsoft one installed. The link points to the Microsoft one.

Shoonay · 22 August 2008, 23:32

lol, okay i was just checking

If that had been part of the full synopsis I would have. But it wasn't.

Five's TV Guide said "The documentary series looking at the untold stories of British scientific innovations focuses on the development of Britain's 1.4 billion pound computer game industry. In the early 1980s, two pioneering Cambridge undergraduates set out to achieve the seemingly impossible task of developing the world's first 3-D computer game."

Which is not true

Edit: I think we were looking at two different pages.

tonyyeb · 22 August 2008, 23:36
