Hello all! Very pleased to be here. (Probs with Realplayer files tho..)


I'm very pleased to have found such a beautiful and informative site:wavey:
If anyone else here is running a Mac and has found a way to play the instructional videos in their entirety using RealPlayer (have downloaded latest build 10.0.0.331) please let me know, as they always time out after 9-10 seconds or so:shrug:
I'd certainly be happy to contribute some time to convert these original files to Quicktime format for an alternative download option too if possible..
Hope someone can help and meantime thanks again for this great site:applause:

Warm welcome, Mickeyzee,

So someone else is here on a Mac! I wonder if you're also on a dialup connection. I had the same problem; you can read all about it here.

Basically, I hadn't realized at first that the files actually weren't downloading in their entirety; they would just get to a point and call it done. Someone suggested a download excellerator, and after researching a bit and reading user comments on the different ones available for Macintosh, I chose "Speed Download 3." It works nicely. As I recall, the arrangement is 14 days' free trial after which you can pay about $20 to continue. Nice app IMO; read about it and download it at http://www.yazsoft.com/.

Make beautiful music now,
Don
