Teal Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 This new section is members only one of the problems with videos is that they tend to be large and so it costs me bandwidth every time someone downloads one. That said the money raised so far from donations and sponsorship from NPPC and ukshootwarehouse.co.uk look like they will cover this for a long time in the future - Thanks everyone!! Please though when you download a video be sure to "save" it on your computer as this will only mean you need to download the video once and can watch it as many times as you want! Hope you like the new section, pigeon master is going to kick us off with a great video - it's 7mb so may take a while to download but is worth the wait. Nice one PM, and we look forward to more of the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ernyha Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 :< When i watch these and other video clips, the screen is only about 3"x 2". Is this correct or do i need to do something to get the screen bigger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdfish Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Ernyha I have heard that you can get a screen that will automatically bring a small video clip or webcam clip to the size of your monitor. They were very highly priced for a while but I have learnt that you can now get them from Spec Savers monitor division. Screen Savers. I apologise profusely for the lameness of that joke jimDfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernyha Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 thanks jf but are you saying then that the size of picture i get is normal without getting extra equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted August 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 What program do you open it with? Are you opening it in your internet browser (internet explorer?) or are you right clicking on it - save target as and then opening it up with windows media player (or another program). Try the save target as you can get it bigger this way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Eryna, If I click on the video screen when I watch vid, I can make it bigger. Try it. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdfish Posted August 18, 2004 Report Share Posted August 18, 2004 Ern If you are playing it on media player there is a little button on the far right hand side if the screen. It gives you complete coverage of the monitor as if you were watching tv jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonnyni Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Windows media player if ya hav'nt got it ya should. Ern ya have broadband (yes) Goto windows update page search for available updates (which ya should regularily) get Windows Media Player 9. If you already have done or do this, simply play the media file and rightclick in the screen 'FULLSCREEN' is an option. I cannot download this in work but will do when i get home to see if its a different problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
