Hand In Hand Festival - Ghent, Belgium (1993)

[Maarten]

Hi,
I downloaded 2 clips from http://www.cobra.be which were taken at the Hand In Hand Festival in Ghent, Belgium 1993.
These are available online, but perhaps some of you would like to save them to your computers...

Clips:
http://www.cobra.be/permalink/1.1037174
(interview)

http://www.cobra.be/permalink/1.1037169
(rehearsals)

Both are available for download here:

(available until June 25)

Enjoy the footage and I hope to see some you in Ghent soon!

All the best,
Maarten

EDIT: I dated these clips from 1994, but they are -of course- from May 9 1993... ! Make sure to edit the date stamp in the file name after downloading...

Great footage with amazing quality
Thank you so much dear Maarten

Thanks Maarten,

So glad you found a way to get these videos after all! Love it!
They were all having so much fun in the soundcheck and the interview is a shoot-from-the-hip affair!

btw...It was a much quicker download this time only one hour twenty mins.

If it's not asking too much I wonder if you could work your magic on this one:

and/or this one (there are two others here as well):

No worries if it's not possible.

Hi Maarten,

I loved these clips and have never had any problem in the past downloading your files. But this just will not open for me. Says it is an audio switch sound. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
The file is a .flv file, which means it's a flash video file. This type of file is often used to put video footage online. You can view this in the VLC player (free download at http://www.videolan.org/vlc/) or you can also use some sort of a plugin/patch (I don't know what it is exactly) for Windows Media Player: FFDShow (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/ - darkgreen download button at the center of the page)

I hope this helps... I'm not really into this stuff, but I always find a way

Bev,
I can't find a way to download the first one, but I think I already have a screencapture of this ("recording" the footage while looking at it on your screen). This gives -of course- a lesser quality, but still ok. The filesize is rather large though... I'll check later if I can find it for you (somewhere in my archives... )

Second link: I can't view these myself (protected to view abroad?)n but I can download them!
1 downloaded already, the other 2 are downloading right now. I'll see if I can upload those via WeTransfer for you later.

Will keep you updated!
Maarten

ah Maarten, you are an international treasure
Thank you so much for your quick response, your time and your generosity!
I had wanted that Barbara Gowdy Imprint interview since I first saw it and the other three were bonuses.

I used my new speedy laptop to download and it only took forty mins instead of over four hours with the desk top one.

Marie,
I hope you have sorted out your problem. It does sound like it's been downloaded and extracted OK but you can't see or hear it. I use VLC player for just about everything. It will work with all types of codecs and file extensions. Maarten's advice sounds sound

Thanks dear Maarten, you are such a gentleman. If only everyone was like you... what a world this would be

[Cheshire gal]

Thank you Maarten, I will follow your instructions. Thank you for giving us giving us these clips.

Bev it did indeed download, but it was so frustrating to not be able to enjoy it.
