Message:   The Return of the Baseball Bat

From: Joe     Sent: 6 Nov. 2002     Message 1 of 3

A new Cindy video clip is now available. It's called "The Return of the Baseball Bat - Part 1: The Disappearing 17 cm." The clip is fairly simple, and is only 22 seconds long, but I think you'll all like it.

I'm trying something new this time, namely making two different versions of the same clip available. File cindy20a.mpg is the medium resolution version. The picture is 448 x 336 pixels (the same size as most of the other Cindy video clips), and this version takes up 2.0 MB.

The high resolution version (cindy20b.mpg) features 640 x 480 pixels, and is pretty large - it's almost like seeing Cindy on television! This version is 3.6 MB. However, if you run your PC screen in 800 x 600 resolution then you should stick to the medium resolution version. To properly view the high resolution version you need to be running your PC screen in 1024 x 768 resolution or greater.

Both version are now available on the "Data Archive" web site, and the medium resolution version is also available on Bill Baroud's FTP server.

Feedback, as usual, would be much appreciated. :-)
