HMMM, What can Paramount do to make up for this?

(That's a joke)
Maybe start a funny conversation.

What did you think the "Vulcan reward" was going to be?

The original video has been updated now, it includes a Vulcan speaking to us.

You may have to use another browser or delete your history to be able to see the new version of the video.

Warptube took a bigger picture of the same one above:

You can see a date there, 5/12/09 (lets hope its an American and not European date format)

Can anyone isolate the audio and better understand what he's saying? I only understand some loose words like: welcome, survival, together, scanner...

Here's what I can make of what the Vulcan is saying...

"...our scanners have yet to locate the... ...working together will increase our chance of survival... ...our gratitude to those [creative?]..."

That's all I can make out.

Here is a Rip of the video into JPEGs for viewing frame by frame. Thanks go to Warp for the original video and Bruce for the wiki upload space.

I will try to get a copy of the sound from the IRC channel for you Riquardo and will post soon if I am successful.

Links!

Frame-by-frame jpgs of the new movie (by Raphael):
http://startrek.wikibruce.com/images/e/e4/VULCAN_COMMAND_RIP.zip (4.6 MB)

Unedited sound rip (by Raphael):
http://startrek.wikibruce.com/images/b/b2/VULCAN-COMMAND-VOICE.zip

Youtube link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgrWQ52QdrM

Download of original FLV (first found by WarpTube):
http://files.filefront.com/13719100

A date has been found in the video: 5-12-09. It is clearly visible in image 355 of the provided zip file.

Incidentally, in case anyone missed it, PHPChatUser4's twitter updated at almost the same time:

Quote:
# Can't wait to see you.about 1 hour ago from web
# I'll be there tomorrow - hope you haven't changed your mind.about 1 hour ago from web


I hope this is useful... I've been watching but not participating in the game until now. Smile

EDIT: Also, earlier today, before the video updated, several people (CptnValdez? Chron? Apparently Mescad got one) got an email from CTT. It ran along these lines, though there are variations:

Quote:
You and some of your co-conspirators gave us information about the human in Paris, France known as Malak0. We have easily eliminated this threat, as we might crush a beetle, and the device is in our possession. You may continue to attempt to send your message to Vulcan but if the efforts are feeble you will not succeed. We will continue our mission

First...
4.6MB zip of jpgs? ugh, that gnaws at me...

here's what I do for frame captures - get'em all in a folder, then remove all the ones that are either duplicates or have minimal difference.
Even better, only save the ones that have anything unique or interesting in the frame.
Depending on how many are left, I'd either upload them as a set to Flickr (free) or upload them individually to a wiki page, thumbnailed for easy browsing.

Most of those frames are guaranteed to be useless, and the collection could probably be knocked down to at least 1/10 the size... (in this case, far far fewer)

Second...
Just upload the MP3. The ZIP is actually larger than the MP3. Unnecessary compression step...

Thanks, and great work everyone, as always!

So it seems something is going down tomorrow (as per PHPChatUser4's twitter). It makes perfect sense, since the movie premieres friday in the US, and tomorrow in several european countries (Portugal included).

But the date found on the video, 5-12-09, even if it's an american style date (12th may) doesn't match. I had a hunch that could be a site (http://www.5-12-09.com), like 1-18-08.com (cloverfield reference), but there's nothing there.
