House Mate Desktops and CM

January 13, 2006

A new House Mate campaign's been posted with Manami-chan continuing her image-character duties. The "Anshin" campaign includes a new commercial, a couple of desktop pictures, and a screensaver. I've gone through the hoops so you can have direct links to the desktops and download the screensaver. Rhetorical question: do screens set to 800 x 600 still exist?

Here's the direct link to the screensaver, available for Windows, Mac OS 9, and Mac OS X.

And you can use SDP (Win) to save the streaming Windows Media commercial as a *.wmv file (instructions outlined in my previous post). Open this url with SDP: http://www.housemate.co.jp/new/tvcm_06/2006_tvcm.asx

U-Can and Aldentino and DTI

January 06, 2006

We start 2006 with a new commercial at the U-Can website.

Next, we have the third installment of the web shorts at the Aldentino site. If you're having trouble viewing the streams with your connection speed, there is a handy tool called SDP (Win) which allows you to output *.asx streams as *.wmv files. Start SDP, click on "Open," and enter any of the following web addresses (movies 1-3 so far):

http://aldentino.com/webmovie/img/story_01_1m.asx
http://aldentino.com/webmovie/img/story_02_1m.asx
http://aldentino.com/webmovie/img/story_03_1m.asx

Click "OK," "Yes" or "No," then click on the "Go" button. This should give you the option to save the stream as a *.wmv file on your hard drive.

Next time, I'll see if I can post a list of links to all 100 DTI Himekuri movies so you can save them to your hard drive. In the meantime, find a good *.flv player; Riva's FLV Player is a decent one.
