JeffM Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Hi Mickey Thanks for all your help and advice. I have downloaded it again and it plays pefectly ok with Windows Media Player now. Yeah! A question for you, did they actually say they are becoming the fashion shoe in London? Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey S. Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 The girl in the studio at the beginning of the clip said that: "... der letzte Mode-Schrei..." which would be on a word by word base: "... the last fashion-cry ..." (very bad English; sounds pretty silly that way - kids, don't try this at home! ). I must admit I didn't check if they were serious. I basically tried to stick to what they said so the result is pretty much straight-forward. Only where a rather one-o-one translation would have screwed the original statement I went for an English phrase that sounded right and basically reflected the idea.

Trolldeg Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 here's my attempt att compressig it: around 18 megs: www.kompakt/upload/ballet_heels_compressed.avi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey S. Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Trolldeg, what program did you use? Could you please provide some stream data, like video-Mbps, audio-Kbps and frame size? CU! -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trolldeg Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have to get back to you on the technical bits, but I used Gordian Knot to compress it: http://gordianknot.sourceforge.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey S. Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I have to get back to you on the technical bits, but I used Gordian Knot to compress it: http://gordianknot.sourceforge.net/ Trolldeg, thanks for the link. Mpeg & Co. is not an issue for me since I've been developing hardware regarding this during daytime work. I was only looking for a usable frontend. Either there's too much fancy stuff in a package or stuff keeps crashing once you require it to do something sophisticated. I'll check this software out... -- Just checked your version of the compressed video. Hm, don't get me wrong or take it personally but I think we definitely need to tweak the encoder's compression settings.

Guest Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hey all, I used a free program called flaskmpeg: http://www.flaskmpeg.net Take a look as it's very easy to use, simple, interface. I got the file down to 17MB by resizing the frame a little smaller, and setting bitrate to around 500kbps... I'm just waiting on JimC for an ftp location to place the file...

Rockpup Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Ok, if you have a divx player try http://www.balletboots.net/bhssdivx.avi and see if that works. If it does I will switch to just hosting this one to save space. Seeya Jim (formerly known as "JimC") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockpup Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Glad to have helped inspire you. 40 minutes is doing pretty good, congradulations. Let's hear a little about the knee boots Jim (formerly known as "JimC") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris100575 Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Works fine for me in Linux. Obviously in the clip they only have the one pair of shoes. Is the pain in the toes likely to be caused by wearing a pair that doesn't fit? I've only tried a pair of ballet heels on for a few minutes, but they didn't hurt. I was surprised that they were relatively comfortable. Couldn't walk in them though! Chris (edited for typo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockpup Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Chris: the wrong size can definatly be a problem. I have one pair that are very easy to walk in since the ankle is not bent back quite as far as my others, only problem is they are really wide, so all my weight is on my toes.. Best I've done with those is about 1-1/2 hours at a bar.. including driving there.. wore some pretty long pants so no-one even noticed them.

Rockpup Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Ok, due to cost of bandwith/space I'm now just hosting the divx version of the video. I'm amazed that I went through 10.1 gig of bandwith in 2 weeks I also re-spaced out the link on the front page so it's easier to find. New pics are on their way, maybe even tonight. Any suggestions?

Richy Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Vidking at Balletboot.com has added a new video in the last couple of days which is well worth seeing. It is of Serena (who starred in the video shoot in the Northampton shopping centre) trying on and walking in ballets for the first time. Well worth watching for anyone who thinks that ballet's are impossible to walk in. http://www.balletboot.com/preview-video.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellen-Jay Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Richy ^^ Amazing, never thought anyone could walk in those! 9Mind you, a pensioner could swipe her handbag and stroll off with it!!! awesome Ellen-Jay --------------------------------------------------- The shoes aren't sensible, so why is the talk?

Answer42 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 Arch Enemies http://www.archenemys.com/home.htm are about to post a series of video clips of a girl out walking in public in ballet boots.
