Source Tech video (22 MB) for 56kers...

[Jagermeister]

The video is encoded in DivX 5.1, so you'll need the DivX 5.1 codec to watch it. You can download the codec for free, from divx.com

To really appreciate the Source Engine, try to get the full 116 MB Bink version of the Source Tech video.

Ah, a good samaratan!

 

[Javert]

Good one Jagermeister!

We should call it "Demo Vid-Lite".

How's the image quality though?

 

[Jagermeister]

The quality is okay for it's 22 MB size. It's compressed from 116 MB down to 22 MB, so don't expect Bink quality. Remember, it's for the peeps with slow connections.

Thank you! I'll download it this evening.

 

[Munro]

Is it just that techdemo that's been released or are there more?
I only ask because:
a) I don't have Steam
b) There are lots of high-res screenshots of the Strider and original Tech Demo vids on some sites although perhaps they've got them because they're the press?

 

[Munro]

It's a new one demonstrating the source engine in City 17.

Just download it from the link Munro posted.

 

[Arby]

Did I miss something? Where's the big one?

Is this the Dx9 vid, or the Tech Demo like in the original 20min video?

 

[The Mullinator]

awww thanks Jager, thanks Munro. Now I can finally see what all the fuss is about.

I think it's supposed to get them eventually, they're probably not on it because of the load atm.
The bink version isn't on steam yet but it's up on a lot of big file sites for people who do have the bandwidth to download it.
