4 "new" Ghost Dance live videos online

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

I viewed the source code to get the links to download. Quiffy has already given you the link to one of the videos, it doesn't take a genius to work out the other 3. (Hint: Just change the last part of the url-the part containing the song title). Another way is just let the video download completely then go to start-find and search your windows folder for *.mov then copy the file to another folder.

I hate quicktime, it's such a crappy format. My quicktime player won't let me resize the window (if I do the video freezes) so I'm stuck with watching quicktime files in a crappy little window... except I have media player classic which seems to play anything. :D

Isn't quicktime a mac format? For heavens sake, mpg is an old file format and has been around for years. Hasn't anyone written an mpg player for macs yet so we can finally ditch quicktime once and for all.

I don´t like them all(winmedplayer,quick and the same is with real...)and how do I convert real player files into something different so that i don´t have to use my comp to listen or watch

Media Player Classic (an unofficial media player) plays almost anything except realaudio.

Real Alternative is basically Media Player Classic with the added ability to play realplayer files as well.

What I did was, with Quiffy's link:

1) Save instead of Open
2) Change the file extension to mpg from mov
3) Open with Media Player (or Classic)

I've no idea how you use it, it's the first one I found.

Dbpoweramp with the shn codec would probably be better but it's only a 30 day trial version.

So to clarify:

1) Right-Click on each of these and "Save Target As" (or whatever your browser's alternative is)
When I Call
Radar Love
Last Train
Celebrate

2) Change the extensions from .mov to .mpg

3) Open and sing along

8)

Strange that exactly those steps I did. But Media Player refused to play it.

5 more added... :idea: :D

http://www.ghostdance.co.uk/downloads/video.php

the video footage on these ones is only half the size of the previous 4 i'm afraid. but they're still really rather smashing :von:

also, i've jigged the order of them on the download page to match the running order posted elsewhere on the GD forum, but i've marked out the latest ones with a red "new" tag so you can spot 'em easily.

2) Change the extensions from .mov to .mpg

3) Open and sing along
