Feed it to ffplay or VLC, I'm sure it will go well from there.

Doubtful. Don't know of a good place to stay, and Stockholm is kinda expensive. Gothenburg would've been better because I know people I can stay with there.

So, the machine most known for multimedia can't play the MPEG-4 Visual Advanced Simple@L5 format? I'm surprised it doesn't have a library of codecs pre-installled like Linux does. Even the Android can stream it off the network.

But, if Cloud and YouTube is the new standard for all files, I guess I should...
And then it won't display on the forums... You complaining about compatibility?

Btw, IKHandles does not seem to be the best method for these animtions.

Enjoy

Windows isn't best known for multimedia, it's best known for being installed everywhere. Most computer users demand such features, so Windows is obligated to provide them. However, Windows is not designed for multimedia, and indeed handles the workload poorly. Smooth video and audio playback require kernel-level hacks on Windows which degrade the performance of all other processes and devices on the system.

iOS is probably the closest you'd get to an OS which is "known" for multimedia.

Almost nothing uses MPEG4 Part 2 Visual because it is a poorly written specification with a scary license. Use H.263, or even better use MPEG4 Part 10 AVC.

Linux is a kernel. Your distribution may choose to bundle ffmpeg by default. Most don't offer it by default, many don't offer it at all. Your installation of ffmpeg is definitely violating many software patents.

Google has a royalty-free license to the MPEG4 LA catalog. They are probably the only company that can legally redistribute ffmpeg.

Massassi has a youtube tag.

I can watch youtube on my iPhone and iPad, and my Ubuntu desktop. I can't watch your original MPEG4 ASP video on any of those things.

I was talking about Brian's Mac. Isn't Mac most used for multimedia stuff?

Also, [ video ] was the button seen on the toolbar so I assumed it would embed a YouTube video. Changed to [ youtube ] and that didn't seem to work.

You've got to put the YT video code only inside the [ youtube ] tags (in this case it's oT_4RC7La6w ).

Quite swank!

Now, how feasible would it be to make JK animations with actual motion capture suits? >_> <_<

I'd say as feasible as Maya will allow motion capture suits.
Alternatively, just film yourself, load film into Maya as a background picture, and "trace" your motions.

Yes, Nikumubeki, film yourself dancing, and then post it to Youtube. Please.
