And if you want to see the whole performance on a big screen with kick ass PA and lasers... then BIT Lite is the place to be!

http://www.c64audio.com/free/cd_new/cd/C64DVD1

The clips are:
Press Play on Tape - Pumpkin Man
Forbidden Forest - C64 Mafia
Armageddon Man (half of it) - Visa Röster
One Man and his Droid - Rob Hubbard
and Deflektor - SID80s

Three versions:

1) MPG = 60Mb MPG stuff
2) MP4 = lo-res 6Mb versions (still quite good though!)
3) MP4_hi = higher res 12Mb versions

Enjoy! Buy! http://www.c64audio.com

Actually, I don't know (I know set top boxes can play it). Suggestions? I think there's a Microsoft MP4 codec, or just throw it at Media Player and see if it copes.

One of the reasons I posted the URL here first is to find out if there are teething problems.

Tried WMP10, WinAmp, DivxPlayer6.

None of them played it.

Tsk, and MP4 is a standard, too!

Looks like some DIVX encoding is needed as well, I guess.

You know when I first heard they were showing the DVD at bitlite, I sorta thought Id wait til I got home to watch my copy. Now with a great PA and lasers makes me get mighty excited!:)

Well, I'm busy encoding some more clips in xDiv and 3GP. But the MPG should work fine if you've got the bandwidth.

The new place for the clips is:

http://www.c64audio.com/free/video/

downloads in xvid_med vary between 11 and 20Mb and need the XVid codec.

The other directories will appear overnight in that place, but the medium quality ones are there now.

The MPGs played fine for me. Good footage, bit heavy on the bass I thought, but otherwise its kicking bottom !!

Well I downloaded "Deflektor" and "Pumpkin Man" just to kill my curousity. I must say they are a rock'n clips and very profesionally done. I even noticed that PPOT logo it makes it look a TV hits show.
