First of all, I would like to give warm thank you to everyone who entered the competition. I thought the top five entries were all good, and some were excellent. ;D
Congratulations to
Hotshot who's entry was a worthy winner.
C0LDSt33L's entry had me in stitches and the cinematics in
Pierre's entry were second to none, but I enjoyed them all. I hope that a Christmas Compo will be a a regular event from now on...
Now to those having problems viewing the entries...
I am lucky in that I have a very fast cable Internet connection, so downloading stuff is normally fast and easy. Understandably, the download bandwidth is "throttled" from OFPEC, but I downloaded all of the zip files, two at a time. I found that I had a problem with one of them, which somehow managed to corrupt during the download.
I normally unzip stuff with WinRAR using the "Extract Here" right-click option (as it will handle zip, tar.gz and tar.Z files, amongst others, as well as rar) and it told me there was a problem with the archive. I checked it with WinZip too, with the same result, so I deleted it and downloaded it again and at the second attempt WinRAR unpacked it with no problem.
For those of you who have been unable to view one or more of the entries, I suggest that you do the same, preferably at an "off peak" time if you have a slow connection.
One other point. While most entries are in Windows Media Format (wmv),
Cheetah's entry is in MPEG, so you may need to install some DVD software on you machine to install the correct codecs, etc. to play it.
Hope this might help someone...
(there is unlikely to be anything inherently wrong with the zip files themselves).
