Download daemon tools lite and install it.

Once it's installed right click on the icon in the system tray and 'mount image'.

Select the movie and you should then be able to watch it with your usual video software with daemon tools acting as a virtual disk drive.

Downloaded the 2.8gb file, didn't worked. Yay I'm happy, now I can't enjoy the dvd and I can't download anything else big fr the rest of the month because I will go over my download limit....

[MrBoogiejuice]

Have you tried the steps above or burning it to dvd?

Awsome Jess

I could se me in the UNICON fun part, glinding down the hall and talking with miles and spencer in front of Lars shop, and in the party in the massage circle

Really cool... The only thing is that the .img isn't working that good... My mac said that it was broke, and my pc burned the dvd but the quality sucked...

Anyway, awesome job... Can't wait to see more from you!

Just seen all of the Quicktime version, enjoyed it so much that I immediately wanted to watch it all again. Perhaps I will be adding "attend a Unicon" to my bucket list.

It's a "DVD" made available free, but I would have gladly paid for it.


Unfortunately the DVD image doesn't work properly. Although it seems to play from the beginning OK, any attempt to trick play or select a chapter causes malfunctions. This applies when playing the .img directly with xine on my Linux box and PowerDVD on my housemate's PC.

A DVD made from this image using cdrecord/wodim causes problems on two different hardware players, and exactly the same things happen with a DVD made with Nero.

Jess, that was amazing! Loved every second of it.

Yeah I followed Kit's instructions and it plays fine some of the time, but goes AWOL if you try to skip around, and will sometimes skip or just freeze for no reason. Might try burning to DVD again, might just have been a dirty disk.

+1 I burned 2 dvds and they both didnt work proper.
It only showed the intro and right at the beggining of the opening ceremonies, then it would turn blocky and not show right.

It was a good vid, the trials looked the most fun IMO

[Pseudonym]

I've got the exact same problem as above. If i just mount an image, it doesn't even play. The sound is fine though.

Will watch the quicktime version.

O man gliding down that hall was soooo much fun! Destroyed my five ten's but now I get them for wholesale price so woo!

First, thanks Jess for putting so much effort into this project and then making it available for free to all of us. Very thoughtful and generous of you and your collaborators.

Second, has anyone had complete success downloading the full image and either burning it to DVD or mounting it on a virtual player? If so, please indicate the site used for the source and any software you used.

Third, this is my experience with it so far. It took me something like 20 hours to download the image file from the site Jess first mentioned. I could use Daemon Tools to get the image to mount and then play through PowerDVD but I have the same freezing and skipping problems that others have reported. Burning the image to a DVD-RW disc using DVDDecrypter exhibits the same freezing and skipping problems. I used a -RW rather than a +R or -R disc because I didn't know if it was going to work. It's easy to see how a file that takes this long to download could be corrupted. Again, was anyone successful with the full image?
