Remember the 1983 hit movie, Flashdance? A story about a Pittsburgh woman with two jobs as a welder and an exotic dancer wants to get into ballet school.

Carlton Draught made a parody of this film.

(video in H.264, Streaming, 1 minute)

The video clip above was encoded with state-of-the-art video codec H.264, which delivers stunning quality at remarkably low data rates. QuickTime Player 7 (free) is required for watching the video.

Enjoy

You can buy the hit music, Flashdance (What a Feeling) through SillyDog701 link and support SillyDog701.

Out of curiosity, why first embed a video, and then direct-link to an older one, instead of either embedding or direct-linking both?

"Older"?
Firstly, the second post links to a video clip which is in no way older at all. It is a great video codec, widely supported in QuickTime, and does not require intensive system resource to play.

How about a non-streaming version that I can actually download to my HD?

You missed the point of the question entirely. My question is, why embed the video and offer a direct link to a different one, instead of either embedding both or direct-linking both?

I'd agree with Pu7o that a non-streaming version would be nice, since I like to archive videos on my hard drive.

No, I did not. You said “then direct-link to an older one,â€

Maybe I should've been more clear. Why link to one using an older codec, instead of directly linking to the same video?

And how, might I ask, do you download a streaming video, if you have nothing to play it in?

There's nothing wrong with Sorenson Video 3 codec. It still have pros that H.264 does not have.

Some embedded video may be downloaded and save to harddisk.

That doesn't answer my question either. Why two at all?

Not if I don't have anything to play it with.

Easy. One for users who have QuickTime 7, and who those who does not have QuickTime 7.

Not if I don't have anything to play it with.

Earlier you said, "non-streaming version would be nice, since I like to archive videos on my hard drive."

What's the point to download something you can't play? Or to be exact, you refuse to install the player.

How do you download QuickTime streams anyway?

Or to be exact, you refuse to install the player.

Or, that you refuse to let it work with other players. Both RTSP links fail to open in both WMP and mplayer, both of which are RTSP-, H.264-, and SV3-capable, and can read .mp4 and .mov containers, in effect, everything used by your videos. I don't know about other players like VLC, though it would be interesting to see if there's a similar effect in those.

I never said you could, at least, not my knowledge.

That's untrue. The direct link I provided is not limited to QuickTime Player users.

Someone's beloved Windows Media Player does not under the file format, not even playing back the file locally. I wonder why you keep claim it supports so.



I just tested the RTSP link with RealPlayer, and it plays fine. Someone's beloved Windows Media Player did a worse job than Real. Ha.
