if this isn't spec., i don't know what is, but there may be some sort of credence to it. the audio stream contains 2 channels. i did some looking online and found this http://www.telos-systems.com/?/techtalk/split/default.htm.

maybe there's an encoded audio stream?

there are two audio tracks left and right

[djrazz]

it can't work it's already compressed and modified in the mov file
i extracted the audio and it was 12 megs

I've been going through the video frame by frame using quicktime and while I don't know how usefull it is but between 45-46 seconds into the film after the camera turned left (at 41 seconds) you can see the reflection of the very top of the car in the windows of a taxi and another car. As near as I can make out its a white sedan (verify anyone?). So be on the lookout, attack anyone in this type of vehicle with a camera! Also at 41 seconds when the camera turns it passess a rierview mirror, could anyone clear the image up see if anything is visible in it?

DrJazz: the idea of the audience shaping the story isnt isolated, and is possible. Look what Weephun did to Bees

On a similar vein was a performance piece done in the 60s, with a single guy on stage attached to various noisemakers and things. occasionally, he owuld some sound here and there in what appeared to be at random. Inf act, he was taking cues from audience behavior, the individual members he chose. Once the audiences would realize that fact, they would then "play" him ontage. I THINK it was Gordon Mumma who did that piece, but I'm not sure.

Agreed. And you might see thta kind of thing in the future, an audience participation ARG, shaped by the players themselves.

Maybe the puzzles we are dealing with right now are not meant to be solved, and are more merely the cues for our behavior to lead the game path.

Think of the mice in the Hitchhiker's Guide series.

You remember about the mice. And yup, 42.

As a trivia, would you care to know WHY 42, why it was picked as the answer in the first place? A friend interviewed Adams years ago about the books. The answr is quite simple.

Count the spots on a pair of dice.

Not to draw this topic WAY too far... off topic, but that's the best piece of trivia I've heard in a LONG time.

Umm, I count 21 per die. 1+2+3+4+5+6=21, 21*2=42. using a six sided die of course
