OmniYes! vs. SP4

[Ward]

As I moused over the "Yes!" movie link on the Mouth page (http://blog.omnigroup.com/2006/04/18/yes-the-omni-video/), I noticed "...-480x320.mov".

Yet when I opened the page, the huge movie was centered in my browser window with the sides chopped off and no horizontal scrollbars.

"No problem - I'll click the magic green button and expand the window." Nope. That simply made the window taller (when it was tall enough to begin with).

Clue: When I saved the movie and opened it in QuickTime Player, I found it was originally 480 x 320, but it had been saved to play at 200%. Perhaps OmniWeb is looking at the wrong size values.

For me it played in a nice small window. Maybe someone fixed it. Thanks for the pointer.

I still see the movie at Double Size, even after Refreshing the page, closing the page, flushing the cache, and reopening the page, quitting and relaunching SP4, and reopening the movie.

I just downloaded the movie file from the Mouth page -- this time the movie is Actual Size.

Returning to the movie in my browser, I downloaded the file from the QuickTime Pro plug-in -- the movie is Double Size, and Finder Get Info reports it's about 34K bytes smaller than the file I directly downloaded from the movie link.

So it appears ...

1. The movie file was updated on the site between my first viewing and when Beth saw it.

2. SP4 seems to prefer showing me the earlier version.

Or maybe it's the Spring-ish temperature here in New England.

[Aside: As evidence of SP4's passion for page snapshots, I started entering this reply before quitting and relaunching OmniWeb. I was shocked to find my half-written note in my Omni Forums workspace.]

It did not play in my copy of sp4 at all. I had to "download link" in order to view it.
