More WMP 9 High Definition demo files?

[nsafreak]

Well I'm trying to play the ones on Microsoft's site but for some reason they're all listed as executables and Windows doesn't know what to do with them once I've downloaded them. Any other places on the net where I can download these demos properly or getting some other demos? I'm very interested in seeing what the Coral Reef demo looks like.

me too

Works for me. Runs like ass though.

They're self expanding executables. Then open into .wmv files which can be opened by the latest windows media player.

Went back and downloaded the 720p version. Pretty neat.

 

[nsafreak]

Yeah the 1080p version that's available seems to be corrupt I downloaded the 720p and it extracted itself just fine. Runs nice & smooth, then again I have a P4 3.0 Ghz HT CPU & Radeon 9800 Pro

 

[thomsbrain]

links?

 

[nsafreak]

You can find what Microsoft has available here

Actually, more of em here:

If you want just a short one that shows off the quality of HD, take a look at the Robotica one at the bottom. Very sweet.

yeah, my 3Mb cable is feeling pretty weak right now.

 

[jurzdevil]

yeh i wish ms could put some decent bandwidth on these servers. 55mbit edu connection downloading at 60KB/s is just plain silly.

[Dulanic]

6mbit here and freaking getting 6KB/sec

 

[Apex]

The 1080p's run smooth on 3.2Ghz, 512MB, 9700 Pro.

 

[Dulanic]

Looks awsome but good god, the Dawn of the Dead demo takes up 63% CPU usage.

 

[richardycc]

same here, running smoothly on an athlon 64 1gb 9600.

 

[NutBucket]

Runs smooth on this P4 and I'm gettin' about 900KB/sec here

 

[silverpig]

I'm getting 120 KB/s, but am also getting other stuff at 360 KB/s as well...

 

[silverpig]

Hehe, nice

Smooth XP 3200+, 1 GB, 9800 Pro

[jurzdevil]

forget my comment on the speed. damn school just capped downloads to 500 kb/s or 62 KB/s that i was getting



grrrrrrrr

 

[erikiksaz]

Harhar, downloading at 5 megs, but the 1080 runs pretty crappy on this 2400+, 512ddr, gf3. What's the limiting factor when it comes to these movies?
