Mildly off-topic discussion of tech ensues below ... sorry for the quasi-hijack ...

I play the 10 Gig movies with it, and the 20 Gig movies also - I think I've played even bigger media files with it - and I will until I run into a problem, then I upgrade to the next version that works. And never update if it works.

I think even mentioning the concept of file-sizes or file-systems should have died when we switched to 64-bit operating systems - they should make no difference whatsoever. And I'm still running a 6-year old rig with Windows 7 that is probably worth $50. Either you're running a year 2000 rig or something is seriously wrong in your OS and you should reinstall it or buy a new PC (any PC, really).
Umm well ... I kind-of agree, kind-of disagree. File-size OUGHT to be a non-issue, especially now that we're in the 64-bit era, so, for that much I do agree with you. But file-size nevertheless IS an issue, especially for people with something-or-other-different set-ups. Although that makes those people a little bit less than ideally enlightened about their computers, still, I seek to be as one with the less enlightened masses.

Further, I totally disagree that a 20-Gigabyte movie will play adequately on VLC with a "standard" computer. You'll have to know a lot more about system settings than merely plug-in-and-hit-play if you want that situation to work. Dedicating system resources, turning off background processes, saving the file in contiguous units or having some kind of more rapid data-retrieval method (such as an SSD rather than a plain ol' HD; frankly, I utterly totally highly recommend an SSD for its speed, and I do run with one usually). Those things aren't all totally high-tech; some are rather simple to explain; but, I think, they aren't "standard" for most users. They're new for most users, not the thing the users are already using. Many (most?) users will be already-problematic.

I accept the accusation, that the "eternal struggle and hardships" are things that "you bring upon yourself." For I seek out the already-problematic. That's because I run my Mega-download collection, so I want to find ways it might not work. I can't say that I pro-actively seek problems, but I also don't pro-actively avoid them. I don't really go out of my way to find them; but I also don't REQUIRE myself to be perfectly plain-old buttoned-down. Instead of being plain-old buttoned-down, I allow myself the indulgence of having weird set-ups whenever they just happen to come about. So, by inherent assumption (although not necessarily by deliberate action) I'm in a never-ending quest to try to identify potential problems and then to try to learn how to accommodate them. It's not that I NEED or WANT to run on this or that type of bad, archaic, or otherwise problematic computer set-up. It's rather, that I ALLOW myself that set-up if it happens to be the currently easiest or most-likely set-up, because then I am better able to tinker with whatever issues someone ELSE might have to tinker with. I don't mean to claim that I am a fully-fledged trouble-shooter. I just mean, I hope to catch a problem by random chance every now and again, and I hope to be able to fix it; and I hope to catch more of them than most people would hope to catch.

(Maybe, you might reply, you could damn well catch those problems on your own without having to trouble the board about them? Well, uh, yeah, my bad, thanks for your indulgence. :whistle: But it did help to send up the notification, whereby I got some useful responses.)

Fair enough. :) Definitely a true statement.

Actually, I've got all that. And, IF I USE IT, then everything does indeed come around just fine. I've succeeded in downloading this file, but I first failed with it a few times and threw up a few flags to see if the mention would garner other responses. It did.

Thererfore, I'm glad I mentioned my download troubles in this instance. It was indeed something about my procedures (though not my computer or home internet connection themselves). I received a PM suggesting a solution, and indeed there was the problem -- Mega. Mega's download stitching and re-stitching is oddly incomplete, in a manner I'm not fully competent to explain; and yet, in order to address that problem, one would have to have access to the file-chunks which are coming in from Mega. However (as you probably can guess) Mega's encryption lock-outs prevent access to those chunks without also creating tons of other problems. So, I'm unable to solve this problem, without in fact re-directing any cellular-service download so that it entirely abandons the use of Mega. This was valuable knowledge for me, because it retroactively fixed several past issues that other people had been corresponding about. We were able to rectify some older download problems from my collection, by noting the incompatibility between Mega and cellular data services, and suggesting that the one or the other be eliminated from the equation.

Anyway, to resolve what is going on with this particular file -- all's well, the "issue" was with the oddball methods, and not with the file as uploaded or as hosted. I'm able to download successfully by having a "normal" download set-up for my computer. But thanks to my (excessively?) convoluted several first attempts, an interesting kink has been uncovered, and now several other people are able to get out of limbo on some older download attempts. Anyway, ya know, weirdness is valuable in its own right, I think. Conformity is death. Fight da powah. :innocent:

ABOUT PROJECT
Almost two years later (viewtopic.php?f=25&t=16432) Cock Hero NOIR is finally ready to release. I’m very happy and a little bit tired because finalizing this project turn out to be a real sweat. I don’t really know how to extend this announcement post but I hope we’ll have here some discussion about this project, feel free to ask questions if you have any and most of all share your thoughts about experience with this CH which as creator I’ll gladly read.

Sorry about my english I’m not a native speaker but I’m doing my best. Have fun guys!
Woah! Thank you Houston and all the people who made this project possible.
This is a great quality CH. The Noir filter and the colours are impressive, and the experience has been so far so good. Haven't been able to finish it yet. And that's a good sign.

So I think it was a decent Cock Hero, but the two years of lead-up to this project led me to have expectations that this was going to be revolutionary.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the effort put into this Cock Hero and I think it was nice. But the hype material you were posting led me to think this was going to be heavily stylized, using more black-and-white, film noir influences, and chroma keying. I think only a couple scenes in the whole Cock Hero had effective chroma keying (and I was excited for most of the Cock Hero using chroma keying), and you eventually ditched the black-and-white entirely midway through.

This lowered expectation was amplified with a general lack of polish. Beats were a bit off and I think you could've done better at establishing easy-to-follow beats during the slow sections.

I think this was a good first step into making a truly unique Cock Hero, you just have to go much harder in the themes you starting to touch upon. I'm excited for more projects and I hope to see more from you in the future.

That bothered me too, and there was also the change in music style. The first two rounds were promising, but then it felt like the noir theme was dropped.

I agree that it felt like the noir theme was dropped, but I don't think it bothered me too much. I was getting to the point of needing something a bit more in-yer-face in the porn department, so I felt like the narrative-based stuff and the black-and-white true noir-film appearance were wearing on to the end of their welcome. Furthermore, when there are hot chicks on screen getting naked and fucking but they're also trying to do real acting, in my experience it's usually REALLY damned annoying because (a.) they really aren't any good at acting, and the director of the film isn't any good at directing, and the whole "like a real movie" thing is more along the lines of "like a really really bad movie"; and (b.) I want to see more porn and less non-porn anyway.

I think if the editor could persevere with the noir film style, but avoid the above pitfalls, then BOY HOWDEEEE it would be very very hot indeed. But given the pitfalls are so likely, I honestly appreciated his honest approach. It was basically, "Well hell, that shit's too hard to make really worthwhile, I'm going to have to move into the more mainstream stuff and no, I make no bones about it, here's the change-over, KABAM see what did I tell you?" No trying to hide it from us.

Oh and last thought, come to think of it, maybe also there's not enough source material to base a full noir-CH on. It runs out pretty fast I bet.

Huston's Cock Hero Noir fascinated me from the first time I viewed it viewtopic.php?p=238814#p238814. I loved its 1940's -'50's black and white opening theme, sound, and visuals. Retro to the max! But I had no luck finding a stim file for it. So, when rdmehd posted his massive online cock hero collection last year and added some updates this January, I finally found two Noir stim files in the Recent Uploads folder: viewtopic.php?p=350889#p350889 .
So, using Puste's CHPlayer, with a tri-phase setup (head-common, balls, and prostate), gummies, and poppers, I returned to those sultry days of yesteryear and thoroughly enjoyed the ride. As has been commented before, the theme changes from BW retro to technicolor present somewhere in the middle of the video (still great). The porn star credits at the end made me smile. Hey, those girls deserve credit. The beats and corresponding stim signals were fairly regular and pronounced (abrupt or staccato perhaps?). This made me appreciate the progress that has been made with newer stim files that have more nuanced, stroking, building, fine tuned stim files. Like the ones that DPL, #1Fan, Phx, SoftDriver, Supermassive, and others have been producing. Now if someone could build on this retro theme with more up-to-date stim files, that would be fantastic. Thanks to Huston and rdmehd for this gem. K
