Hey, you're right. There is nothing there. My steam just updated and i cant se anything.

It's not the movie yet. Steam is updating every single program, providing you have it set to auto update. I don't, so I just got the platform update.

The name of the video was revealed by Erik Johnson in the sticky about the latest release over at the Steam Users Forums.

http://steampowered.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=14

He also says they'll release the video later tonight.

Oh alright... cool...

 

[Murdock]

Argh! Can't edit my post right now. Wanted to say, the correct thread over there is not sticky right now, but you'll figure out the right one easily enough.

yes

How is it a ripoff? They're not forcing you to download anything.

Unfortunately, there's no real way to play these movies with a good framerate on my computer.

You tried using RADtools?

Do you want to change that? well now you can! with this quick and easy method! I'm going to explain what the problem is and how to fix it! it's the blitting that messes up, it makes low-ended machines lag the movies terribly, to fix this go to binks website and download the RAD Tools, install and startup RAD Tools. Then select the bink video and click advanced play, then under blitting style switch it from the default to: DIRECTDRAW UYVY off-screen. u'll have a perfect framerate! this won't be permanent unless u click make EXE and use that one to play the video instead of the steam one in the movie folder. B4 you say, "I don't care, i'm a computerz genuizez and that won'tz fixz it. I PWN JOO!!!!!!" just read these testimonies...

The videos run a LOT better.

yah i change alot of settings and played around until it was silky smooth. OR ofcourse you can make it into an avi while preserving the quality and it will look same and run butter-smooth.

(and also avi same quality is usually 1/4th the size as well, i have no idea why VALVE is using bink. Probably cause of the players/codecs every1 doesn't have.)
