You Ain’t Heard Nothin’ Yet

Well, it ain’t 1927 and we ain’t Al Jolson ready to startle the world from a previously silent movie screen. But from our previously silent blog we can now share in Jolson’s enthusiastic prediction from The Jazz Singer, “Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain’t heard nothin’ yet!”

After some poking about on the web, we found we could upload our .AVI (video) and .WAV (audio) files from our EZARCHIVE account and link them to our blog site. We heard, however, that audio files could be heard, but the video files did not play successfully. Technical problems with EZARCHIVE appear to have been resolved regarding the playing of video files. However, we continued R&D on how to present our video files.

The popular YouTube.com web site became our new solution for video display. We can now (fingers crossed) really share the moving images and sounds that accompany our journey.

We have updated earlier blog text with a blue underlined hypertext link that will launch either a video or an audio file. We marked each hyperlink to EZARCHIVE with a (video) or (audio) annotation. We are unsure how the files will play in your browser. The files may play in a WindowMedia.com window along side our blog text or open your default media player or not play at all. We have also discovered that using the Firefox web browser from Mozilla has solved some our our publishing problems with BlogSpot. You may wish to consider a test drive.

We have also posted in new blogs some of our video files in YouTube format.

Please provide comments on this blog entry so we and others can see problems and/or adjustments you made to play the movie and audio files.

Below is a list of previous blog entries that we have added video or audio. If you click on any of them, you'll be directed to the entry. Look for the blue print in the text and click away!

Hint: The video buffering can cause the video to pause. If the video pauses, try pulling the slider that moves as the video plays back to the starting position on your media player. Click, drag, release...play again
