I'll try to find a way to download them, there must be a way!
Well there's a way, but it's tricky...
After you downloaded the video entirely (on screen), it is placed in the directory called 'temporary internet files'. The directory is usually located at C:\Documents and Settings\YOURWINDOWSUSERNAMEHERE\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files
There will be a biiig list of all the things you downloaded while surfing websites. Make sure the files are sorted by name, and search for the files that start with get_video?video_id=.......
Copy those files (select files -> ctrl+c) and paste them into the directory you want, say, C:\FlamencoVideos (ctrl+v).
The video files are now in your desired directory. Problem is, you can't open them with regular programs. You can however open them with the program called VideoLan. You can download it for free here: http://www.videolan.org/
If you're lost somewhere in these steps, don't worry. Normally the videos of youtube won't ever change location.
New videos will probably be added (already added one) so keep up with the original post.
go to the bulerias with Mercé and Moraíto. Check out the claws on Moraíto!!!!
Those nails are so long. You get a great close up at the beginning for Moraíto's hands. I used to wear them that long but kept breaking them and adjusted to shorter nails. Even still, I found it easier to play with shorter nails.
I suppose it's whatever you're used to.
Thanks for the video links! I'm at home with the flu and this gives me something to do.
Been really busy recently hence not posting, but had to post on this. I'm half way through the Tomatito and Camaron vids. Wow what power, this stuff just takes your head off doesn't it? Beautiful. Anyone know if this is from the Paris '87 video?
Thanks Tenshu for the links and also how to download it all, managed to get it all working.
No, this is not the Paris 87 video. This DVD is great by the way. It is just too bad the sound quality of the recording is not as good as you can expect.
I removed my own movies from YouTube because of their flagrant disregard for royalty and copyright protection. They will be in big trouble soon enough.
BTW - they are Macromedia Flash movies, repurposed from Windows Media and QuickTime and MPEG submissions.
Awesome stuff, thanks Tenshu you're the man! It's funny copyright is one of the major revenues for record companies and yet the only way for an artist to become well know is actually being heard, and what a better way than this... is just ridiculous the way the system works.
the things you downloaded while surfing websites. Make sure the files are sorted by name, and search for the files that start with get_video?video_id=.......
Copy those files (select files -> ctrl+c) and paste them into the directory you want, say, C:\FlamencoVideos (ctrl+v).
It doesnt want to copy the files. It renames every "get_video?video_id=..." file it into "get_still[1].jpg"
did i just get a " yeah whatever " ?........ (was that directed at me ?)
how do you figure that downloading flamenco videos or something else from the link i pasted is any more illegal to dloading the videos link Tenshu gave u ?..
That bulerias by Paco (Cepa Andaluza) was long searched by me. Just look at the last picado on the bass strings. He plays it 2cm from the bridge and not to speak about the accuracy. His nails must be incredibly strong, I wouldnt even want to try that with mine
HEY, there must be a way to synchronize audio and video, the video is just 2 seconds or so behind the audio hmmm...
I feel terrible just giving you guys the link where Flamenco from Carlos Saura is, I am so so sorry please dont go there and do not download it.
I myself dont have it , i have it on vhs some guy gave it to me years ago when i started out but the quality is terrible but i think i am gonna take it back to him and throw it in his face for messing with Carlos, people like that make me sick !!!
U have to support the ARTISTS , well the big well known ones anyway
I was telling that to some guitarists from Spain as i was burning them the latest Jeronimo cd( at theyr request), and they all agreed.
you can buy the paco video very easy at flamnco world ro flamencovive or some of the other stores. it´s from "Rito al toque" don´t know the namn but it´s similar.
