I get this when I try to download:
Quicktime is missing software to perform this operation. Unfortunately, it is not available on the quicktime server.

Is it because I'm using a Mac? I know my quicktme should hae the most recent updates! :(

the clip is probably encoded in xvid or divx (since it's an AVI). these arent typically supported in basic quicktime or windows media player. go do a search for the codecs and download them. i'm pretty sure they make them for macs.

Ahhh. I thought that the correct one was automatically used by downloading. Thanks!

Thank you Old Jong,
It was a pleasure to watch those.
Leaves me wishing to see more, though.

THANK YOU OLD JONG
still hope its a little bit longer video:D

Ok, I downloaded the codec, and it still doesn't work. I tried finding some way to import it into the dowloaded codec thingie, but apparently, this option is not offered. Codecs stink!:mad:

Dont worry. the clips are dumb and really not worth all that effort.

[kungfu cowboy]

Oh, that figures, thanks! (Isn't that blasphemy?:D )

[old jong]

Yes!...These clips are very short.I wonder where is the rest of the film?...;)

It looks like these were from the group of videos that were taken by Leung Ting about two weeks before GM Yip Man passed on. Leung Ting has some cool stuff of Yip Man in action on some of his marketed videos.

Some of my favorites from that tape are:

-Yip Man skydiving
-Yip Man as Chipendale's dancer
-Yip Man at the roller derby
-Yip Man doing the Macarena at some kegger

I understand (and i might be wrong) that there are two videos of yip man extant- one was taken just before his death for posterity. This is the one in which you can catch a glimpse of ip ching doing a walk on because he was afraid his dad would collapse.

The other was taken by/ was in the possession of a member of the HK police force and was shot some time before. It is these films that the footage posted by OJ comes from. Leung ting either has these films or was able to make copies of the originals- hence their presence on the net. I think he may have got hold of them through Ip chun (they collaborated on a wooden dummy book together if memory serves).

Anyway this is what i have heard so if anyone who knows better would like to correct me feel free.

TjD if you still can't play back the AVI on your Mac, try downloading MPlayer for OSX.
