Hi Keely & John,
in the podcast you refer to a video in the podcast section of the site: please tell me how I get to this section and video?

Oh wow.. no wonder the videos were loading so slowly.. any chance of compression or something there? They’re MASSIVE.

Well, I was worried about losing even more quality making them useless to see the details of the play. If you have some advice on that, I’m all ears!

I’ve taken a stab at compression - if anyone would like to comment on the video quality of these two new .avi files I’d be grateful to hear whether they still work or not.

None of my video clients seem to want to play these back. Can you output them on YouTube and let them deal with the compression vs quality issue?

I have the same problem - get the audio but no picture

I’m going try the YouTube option - but now you can see why I didn’t want to go down the compression route, it’s a bear to get right.

Alright everyone, please try the YouTube links provided. I think they work well and we shouldn’t have any Mac vs. Windows issues anymore. Let me know!

It was definitely a group effort, thanks for all the suggestions!

YouTube versions work a treat. Well done Keely.
The videos are two great examples of how tough these calls are to make. They are tough to call on multiple video replays let alone at full match speed under pressure. This is why we have video referral and I think on balance both video umpire calls were correct. Is it just a co-incidence they both involved Frances? - Keely Dunn

Absolutely a coincidence. I was pretty lucky just to find video replays on the two topics we covered and for them to both be difficult decisions, but to be illustrated very well with multiple camera angles during the online broadcast.

And BTW Jamie, thanks so much for the suggestion of putting them on YouTube, it’ll make things much easier in the future.
