Hey ya,
Kind-of a new format for this TR....
Try out these links and let me know if they work, are sized right, pic quality etc. Trying some new software out....
There are two methods to run this thing. One is as a quicktime movie and the other is as a browser driven thing..... both links are below.
Also, the little white "i" up and on the right will give you caption info if you put your mouse on it... leaving it on there works pretty good too to see the captions all the time. No way to just turn on the captions. And, if you "mouse over" down by middle bottom area of the pics a slideshow control thing will pop up where you can pause the automatic deal, (like if you read slow) and use the forward and backward buttons to watch the show at your own pace. Kinda weird, but check it out.
So far the only guy who has had trouble with this (besides dial up guys!) is JayBro! (but he still kicks assss™)
Give it a minute to load up if it looks like nothing is happening.... (eventually the little white "i" will pop up on the right upper corner) it is a QT driven Java deal-e-o and a big file too (41mb?)
Browser method: http://fishproducts.com/movies/hueco_10_07/
QuickTime method: http://fishproducts.com/movies/hueco_10_07.mov
Any problems, let me know browser/OS/QT version etc.
Thanks!
Russ

What? No day trip to Juarez? I'd expect a stuffed armadillo or 2.
How'd that butt water thing work out?

as for Safari... you need to wait! Patience is a virtue!
FireFox is a gagger? Interesting.
Euro Brief: special trip report for you later..... with pics!

Russ,
Cool set-up. Sometimes the words scrolled through too fast- I'm a little slow at reading and didn't catch everything. It'd be cool to be able to click through the slides or at least have another 3 seconds on the writing.
And, Hueco is a bouldering spot dude.

Looks like some really fun stuff. I've never been there, what are the restrictions that you speak of?

James et al: read the intro in the OP!
It takes a while to load.
You can "mouse over" on the bottom of the main pics to run it like a slide show. Buttons will appear.
You can "mouse over" the little white "i" in the upper right corner for captions.
side note: already did all the boulder problems I can do.... 20+ ago. Your favorites are my old FA's (doubtful, but maybe)

Just loaded it with FireFox on a G4..... seems the Fox likes to load the whole thing before it will run. Safari will do a quickstart on the QT and get you going in about 25 seconds. Firefox, I would guess depends on your download speed... cable modem it was like 3 minutes? Dialup, more time than you have left.....

Took a little over a minute for it to load with either option on the dinosaurs at work xp/Firefox.
Still can't find the little "I", caramba!

Ibook G4 1.33 ghz OS 10.4 Safari DSL but the slowest one.
Great trip report !!! Kudos for doing this.
It took about 3 minutes to start up on quicktime. The i thing that you talk about for the captions never showed. No captions, just the yellow script between sets of pics.
The lower center control buttons seem to take awhile to start working, but once they did it was great.
It looked like a great trip and like you had a lot of fun. I love those types of road trips.

YEAH!!! Great trip report!!! Good job doodz and sorry about the "Wait a minute bush" injury! A bit of the "Sailor Jerry" helped I'd imagine...There was an infamous wartime tattooist nicknamed that...That Javelina looked imposing! To bad they couldn't have Javelinafest? Really cool! With good weather, climbs, and buddies...Stellar thread Russ!!

Maybe your screen or window is just not big enough? Pics are like 800 wide.... I'm on a 22" monitor so it is hard to relate to the little people.
Here is a screen shot of the mouseovers:

The actual routes there at Hueco on the North Mountain are pretty dang nice. Most have really long pitches so don't forget that 84m rope! Anyways...the actual climbing is recommended highly if you happen to be passing by. We'll Skamper back over there for more one of these days. Gotta knock off that Indecent Exposure dealie next time. I'd had all the multi-pitch in-a-group-of-three my patience could handle that day.

Fish, I thought of that and scooted the picture over and widened it until over half was off the screen. Still no little i .

Sweet lil' TR!
I used the browser option on my PC (Explorer).
It started playing pretty quick (right away), maybe 5-10 minutes to fully load (per the bar thingy at the bottom) with a 100 Mbps connection.
I have a Dell 17" screen (prolly' smaller you know, cuz they lie).
Width is great, if I set to full screen through the tools menu, height is spot on as well.
The "i" caption option works.
The nav buttons at bottom work.
I'm sayin' this thing flys great as is.
Cheers,
The Hummer (aka etc., ad infinitum)

Moosie, you're not alone.
I tried to view full screen using both Quicktime & Explorer and NO GO.
17" screen and I can't view the top corner. I suppose I've got too much crap on my toolbar. Unfortunately, I'm unable to right click and open in another window as you only get Quicktime options.
There are photos that are completely cropped at the top and well, I never get the "i"
Lucky for me, I know what the photos are from.
~Susan
p.s. Hey Mussy - It's SKAMPER with a "k" and how come no tunes playing during the show?
