Hi all,


For some time, only the zip files that download the entire course have been available. This remains the best way to get the course - you then have the whole course on disk, so you can watch it any time, without hiccups from internet connectivity and performance.


However, sometimes you are at work and can't grab a large download, sometimes you want a taster of the course before snagging the large zip file, or sometimes you just want one specific chapter to answer a specific question you have in mind.


For those reasons, we've re-enabled streaming and download of individual chapters on the course pages, eg :

http://www.caligari.com/products/trueSpace/ts5/Courses/WorkspaceOrganicModeling1.asp


Right click and Save As to snag just that one chapter you want, or just left click to stream and watch. Some notes:


- Some are web pages, using Flash, so you'd couldn't use right click and save as on those, you'd need to load the page and save the entire thing to ensure you get the chapter.


- Some of the older courses require an audio codec that is not installed along with Vista or the current media player. This codec can be found here:

- A very few are in AVI format and require DivX, that is easily found and installed :)


HTH!

Tom

A note about the divx files, I have found that even with DivX they don't play back correctly and would recommend getting the XVid codec instead.


Also, with Vista-64 bit if you are using a player other than media player you may also need the 32-bit codec...previously it was only available as 32-bit and you needed to use a 32-bit player such as nero showtime or powerdvd to play back the videos.
