The best all-around, free player is VLC Media Player - it handles most of the movie files you will find on this site. If you're seeing errors when you try to play movies, please try downloading VLC and using that instead. This clears up many people's problems. There is heavy traffic to our site.

There is heavy traffic to our site. If you experience a delay, please try again later or at a different time of day. You're behind a firewall and the firewall software is attempting to modify incoming bits. Contact your network or firewall administrator (to test, try downloading from outside the firewall first). Your Internet connection went down or timed out. Check with your ISP or network administrator to see if there's a special policy about keeping a connection live.

Try downloading the movie to your computer and watching it locally. Sometimes choppiness occurs when we can't stream it to you quickly enough (because your connection is slow or our servers are overloaded). If you're watching an MPEG-4 that we derived from an original MPEG-2, we first reduce its size to 320 x 240 - a quarter of the resolution of NTSC video. We then translate it at 350 kbps, which is really borderline for that resolution.

A tentative release date of late 2007, early 2008 for the first film has been mentioned, although it looks like it will be leaning towards the later since production has not yet begun.

No, you must import a CD to a Kaleidescape Server before you can play it. You can import a CD with the Movie Player 2, the Music Player, or the now-discontinued Reader.

Feel free to send any helpful information to me right away at heidi@surlalunefairytales.com. I appreciate your help with identifying any material I have missed.

If you have downloaded the video data, you also have the audio data because these are all in one file and it's impossible to download one without the other. Your are probably using Realplayer or some other application to play it, we suggest you use QuickTime to play the file.

When you watch a story we don't provide a direct link to the movie files on our server. We instead provide a "Click To Play" link that is unique to you, but is only available for a short period of time (roughly 60 seconds). If you do not actually click the "Click To Play" graphic to start watching your chosen story before the link expires you will get the "Click To Play" Timeout error.

This is because Real Player has to authenticate itself to the server, as it is treated as a separate client from your browser. There are two solutions to this. If you do not want to save the movies to your hard drive, the solution is to leave Real Player open by minimizing it instead of closing after playing the first clip. You should then only have to enter your username and password one time, as the server will remember that the client has been authenticated.

You should be able to play individual VOB files from a DVD, but there is no support for DVD menus at this time. However, you will probably run into audio synchronization problems with Dolby Digital audio.

thats it, your movie will now play fine on your PC if you get problems double check you have uninstalled every other codec apart from the two above

If you cannot read a movie, please go to the DivX web site and download their latest divx codec. It is available for Linux, Mac and M$ products.

The length of time any film will play in any theater is based on the amount of business the film does, contractual obligations and time of the year. Basically, the more popular a film is with patrons, the longer it will play. There is no way to predict exactly how long a movie will play. Use our website to get information on what films will be playing up to five days in advance.

The original London songbook can be bought through Dark Refrain.com. The Roxy music book is out of print, but Sal Piro (of the Official Fan Club) sells photocopies of this version.

Maggie Smith circa "Murder By Death" would have been ideal, but that was a long time ago. These days, I'd be delighted with Emma Thompson, and Michael York as Watson, and Jeremy Irons as Holmes. And maybe Richard Griffiths as Mycroft, Robert Lindsay as Harry Benbow, and Tom Wilkinson as Inspector Laurie. And yes, I'm dreaming.

I'm the author. I'm not a character in either of the books, so I don't think there would be anybody playing me. How about asking me questions like, "How long does it take you to write a novel?" or "Why did you write FIX?" Or even "How do you get a book published?"

We recommend either Windows media player (which comes free with Windows software and is also available for the Mac) or Real Player. Both give excellent results though it's worth trying other players if you've got them. You cannot play our movies with Quicktime. Our Real Media movie clips will only play on the Real Media player (see below for how to get one free). You can also get Crystal Movie Player free from www.crystalplayer.com
