Very nice Dave and smooth lines. You definately have a bit of knack for web design as well, although I could have sworn the first time I saw it you had Bic Runga as the music?

Cherrs, I did - was playing on my ipod at the time, I didn't think it was a big issue with copyright on my site - no commercial interests etc - but used original music for you tube otherwise they say they will yank it.

Doesn't seem to play if embedded anyway - if you click on the movie it will open on the you tube page and the sound is there - nothing in their help files aboot why it does that.

Yeah does work sweet on my machine through firefox. Also works using IE7 RC1 through firefox's 'ietab' extension.

Mac issue?

Flash player issue? - I got no sound on the embedded vids in safari either - yet I do on the you tube site.

Just checked it on the G4 - OS9.2 - IE and works fine

Firefox - OS 10.4.4 and G5 = nada sound.

Weird.

Some of the guitar is Hippie too, some mine, some prefab.
I played most of the synths and brass on my computer keyboard and had this whole Rick Wakeman trip happening - had to be there.
Amazing bit of software for dicking around with sounds. That lot represents about 4 hours play.
Some of the endings have gone a bit wonky in translation too

That is determined when I make the file innit?

YouTube will save you on bandwidth but its a pain to upload anything to them...

The file size has to be under 100MB, and less than 10 minutes playing time. Also has to be a certain movie format (.mov is fine... don't know what the other ones off the top of my head).

Takes forever to load up to thier site though... My vid I uploaded was less than 3 minutes long and it took me 35 minutes to upload using broadband at work...

Edit: Opps... you've already done it.... ignore above post...

I reckon it's some issue with the shockwave player for my OS.
