Oh and congrats to Doug and his family !

Same here Vicki, I was doing the same thing trying to listen to the background music, but it was very faint. And congrats to Doug and his family from me too.

thank you very much vickip. It worked and I can see everything now. You are great and so are Meats tweets now that I can see them.

RSG · 08 Oct 2009, 01:46

Great.. and very random!

PanicLord · 09 Oct 2009, 23:09

I think the randomness is a big part of what makes them great! Really good to hear Meat enjoying himself.

I think he sounds a lot better (less difficulty breathing, less scratchy voice) when talking, so maybe all the vocal coaching and the better health is making the vocals he's producing come more easily and sound fantastic, and that makes it more fun - ie less of a chore?

You really could only hear the song very faintly on the recent twitters, but from what I could hear, I'm excited...

suzieq · 11 Oct 2009, 04:25

Meat's enjoying himself and his smile and laugh are contagious. I find myself giggling along at him and da' boys. I'm just going to sit back and wait...hanging patiently and cool.

CC has tweeted and she's coming to town to do her part. Joe L. has facebooked a positive status about the album. There's bound to be more generous tweets, but I shall leave greatness alone to work on the masterpiece.

Busting at the seams happy,
Suzieq

Try installing a Quicktime player. Hopefully that should work

Thanks Vicki, I'll try that. Luv cx

I wonder why they upload the videos to four different sites. Is there anything wrong with the YouTube channel?

Since I got tired of different video file formats and the various players you have to use to watch them I installed VLC media player. It plays almost any format. You just have to enter the URL.

OMG, I just noticed that YouTube automatically translates all the video titles into German for me now!!!

In case you speak German, read this and have fun:

"Fleisch stellt einige der Paramore Bande"
"Eric Vetro Tropfen ins Studio"
"Fleisch schießt Rob produzieren und die Band Aufnahme"
"Fleisch-Kontrollen mit James Michael und Rick Brantley"

Good lord...

I've got the same problems, I can't watch the videos since they're in that new format. None of my players can read them.
Are they hosted on another website, like they were on Youtube before? Maybe I could see them there.
Thanks a lot for your answer

Florence, try what Vicki said, it seems to have helped others.

florence75015 · 13 Oct 2009, 23:04

Thanks a lot Suzanne. I've tried the Quicktime Player too, but it doesn't work either, probably because my computer is too old and can't download the appropriate tools.

I'm afraid I will have to read your posts to know what's in the tweets instead of watching them.

What kind of problem do you encounter exactly? Have you already installed Quicktime or does the installation of the tool itself fail? Any error message? What happens (or does not happen) when you try to play the video? How "old" is your PC exactly? Maybe you can provide some info regarding your system (operating system, how much RAM, CPU speed, browser version etc.), so that we can do some troubleshooting.

I've mentioned VideoLAN's VLC media player before, it works fine for me, saved me a lot of trouble with Quicktime, Meat's MP4 files

, other video files, codecs etc.

A workaround would be to save the files to your HDD and use a converter in order to transfer them to a more convenient format that can be played via a media player that runs on your computer.

I wish they'd stick to one site and one format when it comes to the videos. Don't know why they currently upload some to YFrog / Imageshack and none to YouTube.

Vickip · 14 Oct 2009, 00:21

I hadn't thought of a VLC Media player ... that may actually work better

I was wondering exactly the same thing about YouTube .... I wish they would go back to posting the videos on there.

Sarge · 14 Oct 2009, 00:49

Having all the videos on YouTube would not only be more convenient, I also believe that it might work better with regard to promo. YouTube is extremely popular, a lot of people look for Meat Loaf videos there (not only die-hard fans) and they might stumble upon the "twitters" (

), learning that a new album is being recorded.

florence75015 · 14 Oct 2009, 00:59

Thanks Sarge for having taken the time to write me so complete an answer.

Concerning Quicktime, I've got the player and it works with other stuff. But with Meat's vids, I've got first a white screeen with the blue drawing at the middle (just as if it was uploading) for a few seconds and then it turned into a little icon picturing the blue thing broken.

I've got Windows and Real media players but I guess my problem comes from my computer which is both too full and too old and therefore I can't upload the latest versions of the players. My Windows version is just out of date, I'd be ashamed to name it

Too bad for me...

Thanks again for having tried to help me.

Florence,
I hope it all sorts out for you. Suggesting a library computer may allow you to view the tweets? However, you may need to bring a pair of headphones for sound. Sometimes our library computers don't have speakers (due to noise levels).

florence75015 · 14 Oct 2009, 14:45

Thanks for the suggestion Suzanne. Indeed watching the vids from outside my house seems the only solution.
