I used VLC player to play the video. It’s fast and can play just about every format.

TechSmith Camtasia has an option to use standard Codecs. But it is not the default.

Yes, you need the TechSmith codec which is a pain. Shame on TechSmith for creating a standard format like AVI yet requiring a special codec to actually view the video.

Having viewed Michael’s video I must say he’s pointed out all of the things I like about the N800. As he has shown, the n800 is a very capable device and he’s leveraged it very well. One of the biggest advantages of the n800 that he didn’t show (IMHO) is the ability to play YouTube (and other Flash-based) videos where the Advantage cannot play them. They might play a bit choppy on the n800 but at least you can play them.

Re: the Opera browser on the Advantage. One of the most useful things you can do with the browser on the Advantage is tell it how to identify itself to web sites. You can set the Opera browser to present itself as either a Handheld Computer, which gets you mobile versions of the web sites if available, or as a Desktop computer which will cause the website to produce a full version of the site. This means that even though I demonstrated the mobile version of Google Reader I can easily get the full version as Michael demonstrated on the n800. I usually use the mobile version of Google Reader because the full version can be slow to load when I’m on 3G instead of WiFi but it can be done just as demonstrated here on the n800.

Nice video Michael, well done.

Took me a while to figure out what I needed to view it; thought it was just me. ;) Hit up this page and grab the TechSmith Screen Capture Codec for Windows: http://www.techsmith.com/download/codecs.asp

I cant open it either. Tried everything

How do you play this video? I get nothing on the Mac and audio only under Vista.
