Thanks to those of you who uploaded it to youtube.com..
Hey TCM programming dept. yoo hoo.. how about adding the days and times when you're going to run "TCM Remembers - 2008" so those of us who want to record it would KNOW when it'll be on.. it's nowhere in your daily / weekly / monthly schedule.. I only caught it by accident this morning and it was too late to grab my digitizer's remote and grab the whole thing.. how does one find out when, for the rest of 2008, you're going to run it, or does one just have to sit with eyes glued to TCM and wait for it to run again?..
There's a program called Vixy (http://www.vixy.net) which converts youtube.com .FLV videos to many different video formats and lets you save them to your computer, but it's not working today, at all.. neither the online version nor the Winblows .exe version.. Vixy is in Japan and the conversions probably go through their servers and sumpin's wrong becasue it just won't work for me at all today.. so I can't save the youtube.com version on my machine like I did with the 2007 version.. and I never know when TCM is going to run it so I can be ready with my digital recorder to grab it.. sigh..
It's VERY well-produced, but for my tastes, there's too much river flowing / birds walking / clouds passing fluff and the famous people's faces and names flash by on-screen waaaaaaay too quickly.. should be the other way around with the emphasis on the people, not on the background filler mood stuff..
Anyway, TCM, if you're monitoring this discussion, could you kindly post in your schedule or or on your front page when, for the rest of December, the exact dates and times you're going to run it.. then I could just set my video digitizer to record it from cable and not have to keep missing it, because it's nowhere in your schedule, it's never in the between-films "coming up" schedule..
Either that, or just put it on your site somewhere as a high-quality .mp4 and let us download it..
