Actually, I am looking to YOU to help me with this technological question: where is the program that can open the video files from my phone? A sample file is posted here. If you can view it, please tell me the name (and version number) of the program that managed that bit of magic.
I had gotten the video phone so I could experiment with tiny audio-visuals: for vocation work, for book promotion, for catechetics, even. But if no one can view them but other z500a phone users, well, that just isn't quite the Pauline apostolate!
ON the Chicago news front, last night we had a "drop-in" for our community friends and volunteers to say good bye to Sr. Lusia, who leaves today for her new assignment in Boston as part of our national leadership. About 60 people came, a real testimony to Sr. Lusia's charism for people! Today the Knights of Columbus are opening a 24-hour Eucharistic Congress, just down the street from us. Although Sr. Lusia and the new superior (Sr. Helen Rita) will be at the airport, the rest of us will go to the Congress for our community prayer on this, our community day. The staff will handle the book center, which has been desperately quiet due to major construction on the corner. Please pray that we might hit upon helpful signage to direct pedestrian traffic, because this obstruction is scheduled (!) to last until Christmas. No need to emphasize what havok that can wreak on us...

Try saving the file (right click over the link and select "save target as") and opening it in your computer... No, it is not infected with anything! It should be just a clip of our retreat house...
hi Sr. Anne,
from the extension on the file it looks like the file format is 3gp ... you may want to google "3gp player" to see what software is available to play it on your pc... there should be all sorts of free downloads.
I did that right away. Lo and behold, QuickTime is supposed to open these files. So I got QuickTime 7, the PRO version. Does it open the files? Pro=no. I may uninstall QT and try again, in case there was a glitch in the install process, but when I posted a query on the Apple site, someone replied that not all 3gp's are created equal. My suspicion is that Sony tweaked the code to avoid paying royalties, or whatever it is that one would have to pay to use a format developed by others. Sr. Mary Domenica tells me Sony is famous (infamous) for using proprietary stuff so that you have to utterly depend on them for cables, memory sticks and the like, but they gave me no help at all in this regard when I contacted them about a program to open the files their phone creates...
