Thank you very much.

Grig...just thinking, this thread could also be a good place for people to come to stream this.

All...if you want to stream any of the speeches, just (left) click on the link below. If you want to save the wmv file, right-click the link, "Save Target as...", pick a spot on your HD, and let it download.

Great post! If you are interested, I've also downloaded C-SPAN's gavel to gavel coverage I could find (you may need a stream recorder like Net Transport to archive it).

I think that Fred Thompson's intro is the best segue in the entire convention hands down.

Also, the files didn't catch it, but Bush's actual intro was friggin' awesome. The two lit up American flags crossing the stage. As they passed each other and created distance between the flags going in the opposite direction, President Bush comes walking directly out to the stage between the 2 flags

Friggin' awesome! The convention center went ballistic, but I think it looked even better at home.

Very dramatic, like at a concert when the performer all of the sudden appears.

Bump and bookmarked for later reading!

To make it into a DVD, you would have to convert each WMV to an AVI file, the convert each AVI file to a DVD format file, then author the DVD menus etc and burn it to a DVD-R. You would have no increase in quality and it would take a lot of time and disk space. Making a VCD of it would only be a little less work.

I hope they put out a professional DVD of it, including all the videos they showed while setting up the stage for the next event.

bump.

Thanks.

[RaceBannon]

major bump!

[Grig]

D'oh! I assumed they would have locked out http transfers. I should have checked. Thanks.

Bumping for morning reference

[mattdono]

Actually, it allows you to download the .wvx file, which is just the path to the stream, not the file itself. The .wvx file is only 1KB, so there shouldn't be any major restrictions. Sorry for any trouble.

[DietCoke]

bump for an attempt at all of this.

Thanks for the instructions-great job. Bump for later.

[Grig]

THANK YOU!

I tried getting CSPAN video links earlier but for some reason the links for the video clips didn't work.

CSPAN was the only one that showed a direct feed of W's intro video.
