    I purchased Gregory Manchess video - Above the Timberline Pt 1.

    The video is marketed on MB site as 1280x720 Quicktime movie. It was important factor that prompted me to buy it. I was looking forward to seeing the demo in high resolution. However the video turned out to be only 640x480.
    The same thing happened with Gary Kelley - Oil Painting demonstration which I purchased earlier.
    Don't wish to offend anyone - I appreciate the opportunity to obtain reasonably priced videos of all these masters, but listing incorrect technical details is misleading, and some customers might feel cheated.

    First Post!

    I just bought Anatomy for Artists, Female Figure & Idea Development as I was really impressed with the huge price cut, 9.99 for 4 hours of tuition is awesome.

    Only thing is..... Female Figure: The audio is a bit quiet and crackly, though understandable, the main issue is the video, it's running about 1fps with loads of screen cutting when he pans around the document, very distracting.

    Also, Idea Development: this is completley unwatchable, the audio cuts in and out and the movie is really juddery, I got 3 mins in before having to switch it off - also the way the movie is embedded in the thread seems a lot less slick than the way the other two movies are played through the external site.

    This is absolutley not a connection speed issue, I'm on a 20 Meg optical line..

    I've no doubt that the information in these movies is invaluable (when I can actually watch them properly), though to be honest at first glance if I'd have paid $95 each for them I'd be gutted..

    Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions? I noticed someone else (LostFaythe) has the same issue with Idea Development in the other labour day sale thread, but they are as of yet unanswered...

    This is true, there is a bit of lag to the video. But if you check the chat log to your left (in the external player) Jason repeatedly linked to the videos so you can open the video files separately and watch them as you listen to the commentary.

    I am watching the Idea development right now and it seems fine to me, it could be something with your connection. The only annoying thing with that video is the embedded player that separates all the different parts that you would have to click on them individually.

    I've been waiting for such sale whole my life just got Sir Manchess vids. I guess my feelings right now must be quite similar to Ronald McDonald on acids getting laid on the cool shores of Hawaii while naked alien chicks are diffusing bombs by projecting laser blasts all around in spring. Something like that Thanks CA!

    Thanks for the advice, I missed the link to the other videos for FF, it's a pretty good workaround! And I'm watching Idea Development at work and it's streaming perfectly, and work's connection is slower than my home connection....Go figure! Glad it's nothing wrong with the actual movie though.

    Looking forward to watching these and really appreciate the sale!

    Edit: Streaming has gone back to sucking again.. are we sure it's got nothing to do with the video? Maybe how many people access it at one time slows it down? Thanksssss

    Some of the downloads appear to have no "add to cart" link. Is this a glitch, or have they been intentionally removed? Thanks.

    Hey Guys,

    Sorry about the $9.99 confusion. If a title is 2-5 hours long we consider it more akin to DVD, regardless of whether it's in a physical format or not. We'll endeavor to be more clear with our marketing in the future.

    Also, Manchess and Kelley don't say 1280x720 on the website, so I'm a little confused by that comment. 720x480 and 640x480 are the same format (Standard Def), it's just that TVs and monitors have slightly different ways of displaying pixels.

    Nothing has been intentionally removed. If you have a question regarding one of the streaming classes I would email scooter at theartdepartment dot org.

    Also, it's obviously no longer Labor Day but we'll keep the sale going just a little longer so everyone still has a chance to make their purchases.

    Thanks!

    Downloads and Audio

    First off, thanks so much for the sale I have been wanting to purchase but never did until now. I bought Jason Chan's Style Exploration and Hero, but I am having problems with Hero. There isn't any audio at all, and I have downloaded several times to make sure something wasn't wrong with it. If anyone has a solution I'd be greatly appreciative. Cheers!

    Just got me the last 2 Whit Brachna vids I didn't have, Clochette's vid, and the composition vid.

    I only need 11 more vids before I have finished buying the entire CA download library. And most of those are the ones on working in 3D. And all I have for 3d is Sketchup.

    I have already sent messages to jason and posted this up in support. Im looking to find out whats going on here with the server. If anyone knows if Im making some kind of mistake here. I purchased streaming videos- The theory of colour and light .... and the independence in art. Im really greatful for the sale but it really frustrates me that when I get on to watch the videos I keep having this stupid black screen with a quote that says "This channel owner has prohibited viewing this channel from this web page." Does anyone know what the deal is?

    I really want to pick up a couple of downloads I've missed but when I try to confirm my order I get this message, "The card you entered cannot be used for this payment. Please enter a different credit or debit card number."
    It is the same Visa card I have used for all purchases here and I know it still works. What's up?

    I'd email Scooter for any streaming questions. His address is above.

    Believe me, they do. Actually they did, as those numbers someone changed yesterday. I regret that I did not make a screen shot before that. Now Manchess and Kelley videos do say 720x480 Quicktime Format.

    You can check my Kelley purchase (via PayPal) from April 4th, 2010. When I bought it, the numbers were 1280x720. They were not corrected up till yesterday, as I already complained in this post:

    Obviously, at least one customer (i.e. me) was mislead by those false numbers.

    First off, thanks again for the AWESOME discount! Really much appreciated!



    Now for another question/concern-- I got the "idea development for artists" streaming class, but after clicking "On demand" it appears to be the portfolio review session instead. I mean not that I'm complaining about seeing portfolio reviews... but from what I see it's still NOT idea development for artists.

    Did anyone else get this, and are they having the same issue?

    *Zirngibism* if you scroll all the way down on the right hand side and click the first video on the bottom that's the first. Toward the end is the portfolio review. The same thing happened to me too :]

    Ooooooh... haha, gocha. Thanks for the help! Now I see I should've looked at the change of date!

    By the way, are you getting problems with freezing and sound cutting out a lot? I don't know if it's my connection or not... I do know for certain that livestream kinda stinks (thanks for switching to Illuminate guys! =D).

    I appreciate the affordable rates for some great tips. I had to tell myself that "Hostile Takeover" was worth $60 and to go ahead and buy it..... wait... " It's 30!!! " Made my day. Can't wait to watch all the streams.

    Don't wish to push things now that the discussion is over, but I just got CA discount code (nice of you guys). I checked again your collection of downloadable videos and here's the proof that I spoke the truth earlier. Gary Kelley oil demo is offered again as 1280x720 Quicktime Format, though it is actually 720x480.
