The severne 2010 wave site has gone up!

And of course there is alot of West oz action in the video - there are even google earth map animations to give you broad hints... Some very cool south coast action too. All of it shot last summer

you can go and watch streaming video from

www.severnesails.com


or you can grab the higher quality original original 28 mb for download direct to your desktop from here:

spaces.hightail.com/resolve/ufid/dVlveFlkWkI0b0JMWEE9PQ



(small print: the ftp link above will expire in 2 weeks - around 3 August - Quicktime player needed to view the file- it is a free download if you dont already have it - which you should because it gives you the ability to watch movies encoded in h.264 which is THE BEST compression algorithm available for web movie watching right now - smaller files / best image quality)

Try this one:
www.severnesails.com

Although google claims that it has malware on it!

Perhaps best to leave it for a day or so.

not sure about malware - my firefox browser didnt post a warning and the site worked fine for me - but the video does play jerky when streaming off the site - if you are on a slow connection. (streaming video can be pretty shonky!!!)

Which is why i put up the direct download link:

spaces.hightail.com/resolve/ufid/dVlveFlkWkI0b0JMWEE9PQ

as this downloads the video to direct your desktop
( it can take anything from 30 seconds to 10 minutes to download depending on your connection)

which you can then play nice and smoothly from your hard drive - nothing worse than jerky video ruining the smooth flowing watching experience.

Video worked fine for me. Just had to wait for it to load before letting it play...like every other video.
I did have a couple of lines of text come up on the screen, but its nothing to do with a virus or malware. It's just an error in the code.
I like the fly in on googlemaps, that's a great effect.

had a look at the http request... looks like one of the JavaScript pieces is making a request from updatedate.cn which is a black listed site. It won't show on Internet Explorer or Firefox unless you have the Google tool bar installed. Apple Safari has the protection mechanism build in.

here the additional info provided by Google:
transparencyreport.google.com/safe-browsing/search?url=updatedate.cn&hl=en-us

There are a number of possible reasons for this:

1) Who ever developed the site has a virus on their computer. The virus either intercepts any edits made to html content or it intercepts and alters FTP uploads. (both pretty easy to do and go unnoticed but I doubt this is the case here).

2) The web servers .htaccess has been hacked. To be more specific, a directive to write a JavaScript document.write into every HTML document has been included in the .htaccess file on the web server. This is the most plausible option and harder to detect.

Not sure who their web development company is but I would have a serious chat with them. Looks like one their developers is using some dodgy software on their development system.

BTW, the point of well developed maleware is that you don't detect it. So I am not surprised standard install of Firefox and IE don't show any warnings.

Interesting...

just to be clear - the Severne Wave video download link from yousend it:

spaces.hightail.com/resolve/ufid/dVlveFlkWkI0b0JMWEE9PQ

is safe and allows you to avoid the Severne website dramas as they stand.

fair enough... but I guess hosting the video on another server does little in terms of driving visitors to the site.

Actually watched the video on the site without a problem... on a Mac here so don't really care much about IE centric maleware attacks.

i asked if they could offer a high quality download directlly from the site: the guys dont have the data allowance / bandwidth to offer the movie to the whole world at higher quality as a download direct from the site.

The movie streamed off the website has been crunched down to something like 5 - 10 mb.

So i thought i would offer up a hassle free higher quality download from my own (paid for ) ftp service for my fellow Aussies to watch.
