All IBBS videos are free until June 7

[Gollum]

Lee Jae Bok is releasing all his www.ibbs.tv coaching videos for free. You will be able to watch them without subscription until June 2007.

If you haven't already seen these videos, I highly recommend them. Lee is a world-class coach with a compelling teaching style.

[DivingBirdie]

trust me these are excellent stuff. everybody ought to watch them

[Mathieu]

This website really looks great but for some reason I just can't see the videos! I registered for the website and I use Internet Explorer as they recommend, but I can only see the videos where you do not need to log in/confirm... the ones where I need to confirm that I 'buy' the (free) video, it says 'connecting to media' ... then is says I can play the video but as I click 'play' it says 'connecting to media' again and so on...:confused:

Anyway... you guys got any tips to make the videos work?? (like version of Internet explorer or something like that)

[SystemicAnomaly]

Thanks for the heads-up Gollum. I agree that there is some very good stuff there. Note that these vids probably will not work properly with a dial-up connection -- you'll need somthing faster, I believe.

[lolaznboy]

Logging in?

I'm not sure I can get the activation email, could somebody make me an account?

[Mathieu]

I've sent an email to the administrator but he still did not reply :(

I have DSL by the way :)

I have sent you a Private message with the infos for the account I created for you.

[xflubb]

i havent received my activation email either...could someone create me an account as well??

[Shinto]

I'm having the same problem as Mathieu. I've made a new account, verified it, upgraded to ie7, disabled firewall, and it still doesn't work. If anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it.

[jerby]

what a brilliant coach...I watched 3 video's and learned 6 things! (all the little tidbits, you know...devil's in the details ;))

I recommend watchign them to everyone!

[SystemicAnomaly]

If you can get your hands on it, I recommend the video tape, Play to Win, also by Lee Jae Bok. If I recall correctly, it was done in the early 1990s -- when Lee was much thinner. Unfortunately, it is probably very difficult to find copies of this video tape any longer.

( I recall that LJB was selling copies on another web site a few years back -- not sure what tape format it was tho' and I don't know if that site is still active).

[Monkey_D_luffy]

Yeh, i'm having the video problem too. i've got the latest windows media player and internet explorer 7, but i can't seem to watch the videos, i hear sounds but no picture. btw i have broadband

[Mathieu]

I'm having the same problem as Mathieu. I've made a new account, verified it, upgraded to ie7, disabled firewall, and it still doesn't work. If anyone has any info, I'd appreciate it.
Ok, after a few hours of researching (instead of doing my homework...:p) I found out how to fix this problem...

1) Open windows media player (they are using windows media player to show the videos through your browser)

2) Go to Tools-->Options-->Network

3) Uncheck 'UDP'

4) Close windows media player, open the website again and try viewing the video...

[treilanin]

I would agree with Jerby 100%. His videos are excellent, he has a wonderful way of breaking down the little details. He demonstrates what the common player mistakes are and why they are detrimental to your game. Following that, he will demonstrate his adjustment/suggestion and why it improves things for your game. All in all there were alot of little details that I never considered from doubles positioning to footwork. Greatly recommend his videos.

[mojopin]

perhaps an account could be made in badminton centrals name or something for everyone to use? useing a useless email adress as reg or something to protect identity of whoever made it perhaps...
im getting error reports when i try to register and it assures me the administrator has been contacted. Im sure ill never hear from him ever.

[SystemicAnomaly]

Xcellent job on the fix!:p Need any help with your homework?:confused:

...im getting error reports when i try to register and it assures me the administrator has been contacted. Im sure ill never hear from him ever.

I attempted to register & repeatedly got a system message saying that the Security Code I had entered was invalid (even tho' I had typed in correctly). I sent an email to info@ibbs.tv (info@ibbs.tv) about the isssue.

Didnt exactly get a reply, but when I tried it the next day it worked the 1st time. Shortly after that, I received the confirmation (validation) email. When I clicked on the link provided in the email, I was informed that the account already had been validated. Go figure.

Try the email address above & see what happens the next day or so.

[Roman00]

hm... ive register but no luck so far

anyone mind to share an account they have, if they arent going to pay after june 7 heheheh....

[450450]

The videos aren't sync'd? The vocal is ok but the video stalls and freezes and skips. I'm using IE7 with latest WMP. Anyone experiencing the same?

[blink]

I can't seem to create an account either. It seems whatever I put into it it says there's an e-mail set up with it. Can someone help?! =/ Or better yet set up one for me? :D Thanks.

[DivingBirdie]

Problem Copying file. Administrator has been informed. Your account has NOT been deducted.

anyone encounter this problem??

[mettayogi]

I thought I didn't get account activitation e-mail, until I looked closer. It could be your spam filter thought it is spam. My GMail filtered it out. Look for e-mail with subject
Account Activation Email from IBBS
in your spam/bulk/junk folder.

I have the same problem. I am using explorer 7. Hmm I wil try other things
:confused: :confused:

[jbchiong]

Has anyone here have successfully downloaded the videos? If you did, please share it with us?

[coachgary]

I have LJB VHS video. Pretty sure I got it off Logitech1981 off EBAY about 3 years ago. I was fortunate enough to attend one of the LJB session back in the 1990's. He has been an inspiration for me.

I have converted the video to DVD but alas I presume there will be copyright issues if I pass on to anyone else.

[mojopin]

systemicanomaly: thank for the advice. I sent them an email and ill see what happens.cheers:)

Blink: the reason it says the address is already in use is that you used it the first time you attempted to register and it has a record of that. Try using an alternate one maybe.

If things dont sort themselves out over the next few days a few of us should get together and share an account as suggested.I really REALLY want to want these videos.:D

[SystemicAnomaly]

The videos aren't sync'd? The vocal is ok but the video stalls and freezes and skips. I'm using IE7 with latest WMP. Anyone experiencing the same?

Did you try the Mathieu fix (post #12)?

Thusfar I've tried more than a dozen vids & have only seen this problem on one of them -- a court coverage clip.

[mettayogi]

I have the same problem. I am using explorer 7. Hmm I wil try other things
:confused: :confused:

Same here. I tried IE6 and IE7, WMP 11.0 on XP and got the same error msg.

I have the same problem. I tried on Window 2000 with firefox and IE6.
Also on Window XP with firefox and IE7. Both of them give me the same error message.

[Monkey_D_luffy]

I can finally view the video thanks to Mathieu's advice, but now i've got the copying problem, nooooo

[xt6666]

I you have problem with the video, because the video freezes or something:

the problem is the BUFFER!

Open Media Player, go to Extras and options...

Under one tab you will find something like network-buffer or just buffer

Don't use the recommended standard buffer...

Click above and use 60 second buffer...

Now the video should run without problems


BTW: the videos are only free to watch, you are not allowed to dl

[Gollum]

Please note:

Although these videos are free to view for now, they are not free to copy or distribute. You are not supposed to download the videos.

Once this limited offer expires, you will have to buy the videos if you want to watch them again. Every time you buy a video, you get access for a period of 5 days. If you want to watch it again after that, you have to buy it again.

Alternatively, you can buy the IBBS DVD, which has all the videos and is not time-limited.

[victor makanju]

pls where do ewe get to watch the videos and is there a way i can download them

[Gollum]

Okay, let me try to make this clear. It's really quite simple.
Until 7 June, you may watch any video for free.
After 7 June, you must pay for a video if you want to watch it.
You are never allowed to download the videos.After 7 June, you have two options for buying the videos:
Pay to watch a video on the website. Your video will expire after 5 days. If you want to watch it subsequently, you must buy it again.
Buy the IBBS DVD, which has the full set of videos. Then they are yours forever.Please respect Lee's business:

I have had several requests from people asking how to download the videos.

Although I do know how to do this, I will not tell you. It would only take one unscrupulous person to share the videos, and then Lee's business would be ruined.

I ask anyone who has figured this out to keep quiet. Please show your respect for Lee by not destroying his business.

For those people who want to own the videos permanently, I can only suggest you buy the DVD.

[sevens]

The website seems to be down, I tried visiting the site with different browsers and still the same error.

[mojopin]

heh.. how convient it all falls apart as soon as the special offer arises. just in time to arose interest, but stop people from actually getting the free videos.
genius really.
and ya. dont download. If you do, people like him will stop making them as they wont be financially viable so your hurting yourself in the long run.

[SystemicAnomaly]

It could be that the IBBS server is down cuz so many of us are now trying to access the free videos.

I believe that the only videos on the IBBS site that you are allowed to download are the 3 or 4 videos sample videos that are listed in the section Free Videos (under the Main menu).

However, I'm not sure if those special videos are still in a format that allow downloading. I had dl'd 3 of those teaser videos quite a while back since I was using at dial-up connection at the time & was unable to stream them at all.

I agree with Gollum & the others - do NOT attempt to download any of the videos that are not intended for download. Stop asking for ppl to dl them for you. It's not good for LJBs biz & its not good for the badminton community. If anything but the 3 or 4 sample vids show up on YouTube or some other distribution network, we will all suffer in the long run.
.

[SystemicAnomaly]

The website seems to be down, I tried visiting the site with different browsers and still the same error.

Yay, looks like the IBBS server is back up.

I tried the xt6666 suggestion for the video stall problem. All the vids I've looked at are now in sync. With Win Media Player 11, go to

Tools menu --> Options... --> Performance tab

I set my buffer to 40 seconds & it works just fine.

Curious -- after the fixes suggested by xt6666, Mathieu & others, are ppl still having other problems? If so, are your able to watch or download the sample videos on the regular Free Videos page (Yes, it is ok to dl the sample vids) ...

ibbs.tv/IBBS/home/freevideos.aspx (http://ibbs.tv/IBBS/home/freevideos.aspx)

[mettayogi]

Yes, this solved my initial video freezing. 30s worked for me. How much buffering (in sec.) is necessary depends on how fast is your network connection. The slower your connection, the longer buffering is needed.

i'm checking out his site and i don't see the option to buy the full dvd set anywhere... could someone point me in the right direction?

also, what language are these dvd's in?

[xt6666]

Go to "latest news"...

Videos are in english...

[SystemicAnomaly]

It's actually on the home page as well...

ibbs.tv/IBBS/home/home.aspx (http://http://ibbs.tv/IBBS/home/home.aspx)

The videos are all in "Lee Jae Bok" English.:rolleyes:

[blink]

Ah!! I have tried setting up an account and still can't! :( It keeps saying that my e-mail is already used and I have tried all sorts of e-mails! Can someone help? :( Thanks.

[mojopin]

you can only ever tpye in any email adress ONCE. same thing happened to me. i just used my friends when i retried a few days ago and it worked. At the moment , its telling me there is a problem copying files when i try to watch a new video, yet my current videos which i have viewed are all viewable. others had this problem.did ye fix it?
oh, and isnt he cool?:D
I noticed that his smash technique and coach jiao are diffent. i saw fu and cai doing jiao's focused/no follow through smash in the slow motion replays at the SPO. Anyone think theres much of a difference?

[greegooey]

Anyone still getting this error?
Problem Copying file. Administrator has been informed. Your account has NOT been deducted

[Mark A]

I've GOT to say how ASTOUNDING these videos are. Without doubt the most detailed and helpful training aids out there (short of having your own coach!)

Lee goes into the most minute facet of every technique, FAR deeper than any book I've ever read on the subject, and his tips REALLY DO WORK.

I watched the video on smashes and immediately went into the back garden to try some out. By God, they were going at least 20% faster and sounded like shotgun blasts, all thanks to a little grip change. I also noticed a lot less wrist pain afterwards.

I had similar results with his guides to backhand drives, and his hints on low serves are incredibly subtle - not the sort of thing covered in the average eight of an inch badminton book.

Watch all these videos QUICK before they become un-free.:D

[Roman00]

Anyone mind sharing an account, or can make one for me so I can watch?

[ajevans]

It's pretty annoying that you have to use IE to use the service, especially as it's not available on some platforms.

It's like saying you can only play if you have a Yonex racket.

[xt6666]

Perhaps you can use the "IE-TAB" Extension for Firefox...

Don't know if that works...

[ryeung]

Perhaps you can use the "IE-TAB" Extension for Firefox...

Don't know if that works...

Yes, that works.

[SystemicAnomaly]

Perhaps you can use the "IE-TAB" Extension for Firefox...

Don't know if that works...

how do we enable that feature? would also prefer FF.

[xt6666]

it's an extension...

https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/1419

[ajevans]

However IE-TAB is not available in Linux, so my original point still stands.

[xt6666]

That's bad luck for you...

[Gollum]

Insisting on IE is a terrible piece of web design. It's entirely unnecessary.

If you can't/won't use IE, then you could use Opera. Opera can identify itself as IE, fooling the website.

Interestingly, I now get the same error message ("problem copying file"). It worked before, however. Perhaps they are running into bandwidth problems with all the BC visitors.

[chikkubhai]

Great, classic coaching theory and patient explanation... Thanks for all the videos mae..

yeah I think others using ie7 also were having problems, just go through previous posts in this thread you will try to figure out an answer.

For me, I have long learnt my lesson not to stick with IE anymore, so switched to Firefox recently although I never wanted to.

Alrighty, have fun then. Oh btw someone cares to discuss (rather than post ) this thread in the video sharing may be.

[GunBlade008]

something's wrong with the bandwidth, I keep getting Problem copying video msg.

After trying your advice, i still cannot see the clips, although i did hear the voice. What i saw was as below. Thks.

Can someone please share an account, curious to see the vids but I am running a Mac. :( No IE!!!

Please PM me. Thanks.

[Gollum]

Can someone please share an account, curious to see the vids but I am running a Mac. :( No IE!!!

Sharing an account won't help you unless you can access the videos in your browser.

Go download Opera, which can trick websites into believing it's IE.

http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=mac

[jrong]

I have another problem - Opera on my Mac does not even want to play the free videos! :( Anyone know why this is, what plug-ins I need, etc? It just shows a blank space where the video should be.

Looks like my advice was useless :(

[SystemicAnomaly]

Please PM me. Thanks.


I noticed that I was able to watch the sample videos (http://ibbs.tv/IBBS/home/freevideos.aspx) using Firefox 2 on a Max OS X machine. You can even download these 4 videos (3 instruction vids).

http://ibbs.tv/IBBS/home/freevideos.aspx

However, when I tried to access the any of the full-length vids, the video window that opened up informed me that I needed IE 5 or Greater.

Someone mentioned a utility for simulating IE in a Firefox tab. Does NE1 kno if a similar type of plug-in or other utility will enable you to simulate an IE environment w/Mac OS-X?

[SystemicAnomaly]

I have another problem - Opera on my Mac does not even want to play the free videos! :( Anyone know why this is, what plug-ins I need, etc? It just shows a blank space where the video should be.

Don't kno if it's applicable to your situation but have you looked at the fixes described in post #12 and post #37 of this thread?

You might need to do something similar to fix your problem. It very likely will be a bit different than what is described in those posts, but perhaps they will give you ideas on how to solve your specific prob.

I assume that you have a way of playing wmv files on your Mac, correct?

[jrong]

Thanks for trying to help! Sorry to include all this geek stuff. Yes, I can see the 4 free sample videos on Firefox on my Mac (in your link in post 70). :) It's the full length videos I am having problems with, it insists on having IE 5.0 or greater. I have tried Opera, but no videos work on Opera at all... I have a way of playing Quicktime and WMV videos on my Mac but it seems to only work with Firefox. I am not familiar enough with Opera to figure out why this is the case.

I've also checked out the IE-Tab extension for Firefox and its not available for the Mac. :(

Seems like I've got to either (1) shell out for the DVDs (2) watch the videos from someone elses computer before June 7th! :D

[mojopin]

im rejoining this thread late, but at a quick glance at the previous post- i watched them on my mac via IE 5 ( its out there-a mac version-and is free ) and had media player ( also out there- a mac version ) and had the codex installed anyway from my quicktime viewing of other stuff. This should work-sorry if its been mentioned but im way too tired to look back over 72 posts :o
So download those things and try again. Or just watch them in a net cafe and bring a pen and paper to take notes.

[jrong]

Thanks!!!! I scoured the internet and managed to find a copy of IE 5.2x available for the Mac. I tried looking last night but couldn't find it, but this time managed to locate a copy. I have the VLC media player and the videos work fine! Thank you again. :) I've got a lot of viewing to do before 7th June....

[mojopin]

no worries. sorry i didn't respond earlier.

[Dummey]

However IE-TAB is not available in Linux, so my original point still stands.

Ahh, a fellow linux user I see. Unfortunately I could not find a solution ethier so I resorted to going on my desktop and registering which gave me an error. I believe there was a plug in for firefox that let it imitate other browser clients?

[cappy75]

For those of you who could afford another Yonex AT900 Technique, I urge you to buy LJB's DVD sets instead. They're the best investment I have ever made. He made alot of things on court simple and comprehensible. With his credit as a world renown coach, I have little initial doubt when I bought a set from him. It took awhile to receive the goods, but it's well worth the wait. I could say that his videos brought my game to a new level. Things like grips and strokes were shown and reinforced by reasons behind the techniques. I would say that comparing to professional private and group coaching, Lee's videos are the next best alternative.

Once you have review his free stuff, please consider what value his video lessons could bring to your game and make a commitment. If you're serious about improving your game, this DVD set is a necessary purchase.

[Glacyus]

What an amazing teacher! Listening to his logical explanation of the roots of badminton for a couple of minutes is enough to have you hooked on everything he is willing to share.

[Dummey]

oki, I got it working on linux but it involves quite a lengthy process. I also think it is against their terms of service, which by the way I can't view...so I'm not completely sure I'm violating them... Anyways, the process basically involves ripping the videos off the website viewer into wmv/asf files which I then play on my desktop. I'm more then willing to upload these for people who are running into problems to watch. The issue now is how to interpret their missing rules?

[Dummey]

Unfortunately IBBS never did provide the dial-up versions of the videos as they had intended. You might try playing with the buffer size as suggested earlier in this thread but I suspect that it will only help slightly, if at all. Your best bet is to see if you can use a faster connection at a friend's/relative's place or at a university or public library (you will probably need headphones).

I am also sending you a PM (private message).

Good god, no! :mad:

Please don't do this. As soon as you start distributing Lee's videos, you undermine his business model and IBBS may be forced to shut down.

I know the videos are free at the moment, but they won't be for long. Lee will only continue to make videos if he can make money from them.

Please don't tell people how to rip the videos either. That would have the same effect.

I know it's annoying that IBBS insists on IE and that their streaming video playback is choppy. I understand that people have legitimate reasons for wanting to download the videos. But please: don't help them do it! You risk irreparably damaging Lee's business, and thereby impoverishing the badminton community once he can no longer sell his videos.

Something of a violation since your ripped videos probably won't expire in 5 days as the streamed ones do. Uploading them for others would constitute a major violation since this could jeopardize LJB's business by making them available for general distribution. Keep them to yourself.

Thnx for the update on the new deadline.

[xt6666]

@Dummey:

If you can't watch the videos because you use Linux, than you have to BUY the DVD

OR:

install a second OS that can use IE or Firefox (and then install IE-Tab extension for Firefox)...

So if you want to watch the videos you boot with the other OS, and if not, you boot with Linux!

After June 18th, ALL VIDEOS WILL NOT BE FREE ANYMORE!!!

Also the videos, that are now free will not be free anymore!


So DO NOT rip the videos and upload them!!!!!!!!!

[jrong]

I fully appreciate and respect that the videos should not be replicated or freely distributed on the internet! However, I hope someone points out to the IBBS admin that restricting viewers/subscribers to one OS and one browser-type is severely restricting... I was a Linux user before I switched to the Mac. Even a great number of Windows users do not use IE at all. So, it would be good business sense if they made the videos compatible with a wider range of OS/browsers. Just my 2 cents. :)

[Dummey]

Okie, duly noted everybody's opinion and I will not upload them. I originally planned on deleting them after I finished watching them anyways, which would probably be before deadline. No, I have not taught anybody how to rip it.

@ xt666: this would mean that I'd have to go buy another operating system, which a) cost money and b) seems slightly silly. Secondly, a time restraint can be put on the videos so that they would "expire" by the 18th.

@everybody else: I think there is a slight misunderstanding here. I didn't intend to upload them as raw video files, but as streams on a separate server which could be taken down when the deadline hits. This just offsets the load on the ibbs servers and prevents the silly IE only situation.

Anyways, another solution for linux users us to get autmatix and install a copy of opera. So far, it allows me to login and get the video popup, now to figure out how to play the actual video.

[SystemicAnomaly]

.... Secondly, a time restraint can be put on the videos so that they would "expire" by the 18th...

IBBS is probably busy enuff setting up & rolling out the new stuff to be bothered with changing the the 5-day rental format.

Probably best to get an IBBS ok to do this. Have a feeling that they'd still be uneasy about this -- probably would not be too wild about the idea. But go ahead & contact them with your proposal -- they might go for it.

[vin88]

Is anyone having the "Problem Copying file. Administrator has been informed. Your account has NOT been deducted" msg? about now?
Not sure if it's me or server is slow
Please check, thanks

[jrong]

Actually, I had that happen to me last night when I was trying to view more videos.:( Glad to hear its just not me!!!

[vin88]

Hmm, maybe its BC members clogging up the bandwidth! =P
Meantime, keep trying and see if it comes through
But in my active videos, i can still watch the videos listed there...

[wedgewenis]

I've watched everything on the site

my view is that the Videos are exceptionally well done, but I feel that the site is incomplete. There are many areas that are not talked about and that are more important to my game than what was shown

I also felt that I already knew (or agreed with) about 70 percent of what he said - only about 25 percent of the info was new to me...

I am planning on buying them but I will go splits on the cost with some others and we will share them. At that cost it is not worth it for me alone to buy them.....Thats my honest opinion... I recommend them but it depends on your current level of understanding of the game.

Hopefully he will make more videos and release an updated DVD?

[SystemicAnomaly]

...
I also felt that I already knew (or agreed with) about 70 percent of what he said - only about 25 percent of the info was new to me...

So what about the other 5% that you didn't account for?

My percentages would probably be similar (but would add up to 99% or so). I've not had a whole lot of formal training msyself but have picked up a lot of this stuff thru observation over the years. However, LBJ's videos contained quite a few gems -- stuff I had never realized before. Even some of the familiar stuff was a great reminder (since it's never been drilled into me).

All in all, viewing his vids have certainly been worth the time (& money) invested.

[Dummey]

The other 5% was lost due to a) lag or b) poor English fluency (favorite phrase being "You do it!")

[bananaboy]

For those of you who could afford another Yonex AT900 Technique, I urge you to buy LJB's DVD sets instead. They're the best investment I have ever made. He made alot of things on court simple and comprehensible. With his credit as a world renown coach, I have little initial doubt when I bought a set from him. It took awhile to receive the goods, but it's well worth the wait. I could say that his videos brought my game to a new level. Things like grips and strokes were shown and reinforced by reasons behind the techniques. I would say that comparing to professional private and group coaching, Lee's videos are the next best alternative.

Once you have review his free stuff, please consider what value his video lessons could bring to your game and make a commitment. If you're serious about improving your game, this DVD set is a necessary purchase.

I absolutely agree with you here... these instructional videos will do so much more for you than any racket available in the market today.:cool:

After watching LJB's videos and utilizing the material in the videos, Bananaboy has turned into "Super Bananaboy level 10" in badminton now.:D

[xt6666]

Videos are now free until June 30th!!!

[FitnessFreak]

do the videos stall for anyone else sometimes???

sometimes the screen just stalls and you can keep hearing his voice for me

[iamSudd3n]

Already watch the IBBS video, i'm already practicing his knowledge on defending smashes, it helps me but got problems to lift it back to opponents backcourt. When the opponent is in attack position front back, when they smash the only thing i can do was block it and I'm trying to push it back to their backcourt, but the farthest that i can do was in their mid court. Any suggestions on how to improve my defense on smashing so i could lift it back to their backcourt to avoid the front attacking opponent?

[DivingBirdie]

use your fingers and wrists more. i believe there's vids on IBBS that teaches smash defence

anwyay just watched the Right Attitude. Kinda feeling guilty about doing round the backs purely for acting cool when playing lower level players

[Roman00]

I dont think the videos of the website will cost anything for a membership since, all the free videos he has now covers 95ish% (or more) of badminton. Everyone that knows about it prolly has already watched the videos that they want to improve on, only the people that havent watched the videos are going to pay. Also, I dont think he can add any extra videos since (I would say) all you needed to know about badminton is already there, so if he didnt charge money at the begining I dont think he will charge later in the future.

Don't believe that all the videos will remain free. There are still plenty of new topics that he can address.

With that said, as of today, the current videos are all still free (even tho the June 30th cutoff has passed).

[Azianhero]

im using IE 7 and this is what it gives me
Sorry! Browser not supported. Please use Internet Explorer 5.0 or Greater

Not true.

Lee has big plans for IBBS. He is developing a new website and wants to add many more videos.

I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with :)

[Gollum]

Lee said this on IBBS:


What I can say to you at this moment is the old videos will be free until I open the new web site. So please feel free to enjoy them.

[SystemicAnomaly]

Are you absolutely certain that you were actually using IE-7 at the time you saw this message? It is not enough to have IE-7 on your PC -- you need to launch the IE application and then launch the video from an IE window (or an IE tab). Someone else here reported the very same problem but it turned out that their default browser was Firefox and they did not really have the IE application opened at all when they saw the message.

[xt6666]

Site Under Essential Maintenance
We are undergoing essential upgrade and Maintenance. The New website will be back by 1st December 2007!



WHY DOES THIS TAKE SOOOOOOOOOO LONG?

[xt6666]

Tomorrow is the day...

1st December 2007...

But I bet 100 Dollars, that ibbs.tv will not reopen this year!

:-((

[KazeCloud]

Haha. I'm sure it won't either. These things never happen on time. X_X

[xt6666]

Site Under Essential Maintenance
We are very sorry that we could not open this web site in time as we stated. Please accept our sincere apology for those who have been waiting for a long time. We will do our very best to open it before 1st March



LOL

So another 3 month... Is this a joke?!?

I still have 8 Pounds in my account there...

[Gollum]

I think Lee may be struggling to complete his plans for IBBS. I hope he does get it started again; he certainly seemed very enthusiastic about it a few months ago, but I haven't heard from him since.

It seems pretty harsh that customers should not get their money refunded; I think that should have been his first action before closing the site.

Yet I sympathise. These projects have a way of taking much longer than you expect. Take my grips guide: I haven't updated it for over three years. :( It's not easy.

[xt6666]

He easily could have added one or 2 new videos to the old site and let the old site stay online until the new site is finished...

He wants our money (and has mine already) and then he is not able to get the new site to works for half a year?!?

[sunny]

Tomorrow is the day...

1st December 2007...

But I bet 100 Dollars, that ibbs.tv will not reopen this year!

:-((

xt6666, I would like to take that bet :) do you want to bet? ;)

Guys I think the new website is not far away. It will be launched soon! I could tell you that because I'm back!!! (some badminton central members will understand that).

[xt6666]

I think you where the webmaster of the old site right?

I talked to Lee some days ago and he seemed very frustrated...

When I read on the website that they try to open the site before March 1st 2008... Should I bet... hm... 1 Dollar?

[sunny]

I dont think it will take that long. It will be launched soon! I can't go into any detail of what has happened in the past, the delays, frustrations etc What I can say though is the new website will have very exciting videos. It will help improve badminton skills to the next level.

I Love badminton! and really looking forward to this new website videos.

We don't have to wait long for the website now.

[xt6666]

That's great, and I hope the SUPPORT will be much better and faster then before...

The videos will be fantastic that's for sure!

Now I have to visit the website 100 times every day and look of it's launched already :-))

[sunny]

lol. Don't have to visit 100 times a day mate :) I'm sure a post will appear on BC when website is live.

[xt6666]

So, now it's 1 month later...

Any news?

[xt6666]

So I won my bet...

Please pay me 1$ sunny... :-)) THAT'S COOL!


I bet again 1$ and I say, that the website won't open at or before March 1st...

[xt6666]

I think IBBS.TV won't before march 1st, that's for sure I think...

What do you think will be the next "date"?

I think August 2008... and after that it will be "hopefully in 2009"

[KazeCloud]

I think IBBS.TV won't before march 1st, that's for sure I think...

Hahaha. I like the way you did so many bets. Seriously some sites just never keep their promises. But this time I don't think the wait will be for too long.

[Gollum]

I think IBBS.TV won't before march 1st, that's for sure I think...

Patience. ;)

IBBS has been updated with a picture of the new website.

[xt6666]

Yes I know...

But it looks like the old site, only in "green" :-))

And I thought Lee already finished some videos?

Now they say: he is currently recording the new videos...

So it will take some more months I think.


BTW: Why there is a plastic shuttle in the "logo"?
Why not use a normal feather shuttle cock? ;-)

[Gollum]

I think the design looks really good. :)

The reason for a plastic shuttle is simple: a limited selection of stock photography. :D

From the screenshot, I can tell that his web designer has a screen resolution of 1280*1024. :D

[KazeCloud]

My school district uses only plastics. So a plastic is pretty normal for me. Haha.

[xt6666]

This thread was opened nearly 1 year ago...

When did IBBS show the last NEW video? 3 Years ago?

I can't believe I visited the site 10 times a day to look if there is a new video or if the new site is relaunched or if there are some infos about the next date when the site SHOULD be reopend...

So perhaps I clicked the site 10000 times... lol

I really hope I don't have to do it another 10000 times without being able to watch a new video from Lee!

[Loopy]

You're a real fanatic eh ;)

Glad I bought the dvd before the site closed down.
They are quite good, more aimed for the intermediate players who have their techniques covered.

[xt6666]

Yes I also bought the DVDs, but then: ALL VIDEOS WHERE FREE!!!

Can't believe it!

They where so expensive, and then Lee offers all videos for free! HAHA!

[KazeCloud]

Yes I also bought the DVDs, but then: ALL VIDEOS WHERE FREE!!!

Lol. Now you seem a bit psychotic.

[xt6666]

Site is down at the moment...

Perhaps the new site is going to be "installed" now.

NOW I'M OPTIMISTIC!!!

[KazeCloud]

Site is down at the moment...

NOW I'M OPTIMISTIC!!!

Aren't you always thinking the glass half empty? Maybe the site is canceled. Haha. :D

[xt6666]

No, site is only again... But nothing happend

Just a "normal" downtime

[xt6666]

The new site is ONLINE!!!

I can't believe it!!! :):):)

[Elixau]

I have a problem though! :(
I can't view the videos, once I open it, everything... Doesn't respond.
Does anyone know the solution to this?

[KazeCloud]

Wth. I can't register, it keeps saying the security code is wrong. I refresh it and it still the same. 1ADD9115. Maybe I need to delete my cookies for a different one.

Edit: Wth. Now that I got the security code right. It says:

Unknown Error! An Unknown Error has Occurred. Administrator has been notified via Email. Error Message Code: 001

Edit: And now I guess I'm waiting for the activation email because I can't sign up again with the email because it says its already been used, and when I try to sign on it says its not activated yet or something.

[Elixau]

And now I have another problem. I can't start the videos. I click on Play then it says "Opening media" and it just says "Ready" after awhile.

[zeddie]

why on earth is there a PLASTIC shuttle on the main graphic!!! ?!! surely the use of a feather shuttle for the graphic would be better.. since professional badminton is played with feathers. most ppl would agree that feather is far more prefered than plastic in badminton.

apart from that the site is looking v good.. looking forward to the new videos! :)

[Elixau]

Because they use plastic instead of feather? Haha xD

[zeddie]

Because they use plastic instead of feather? Haha xD

lool.. i hope he uses feathers in the actual training vidoes :p

[xt6666]

He will upload 20 videos every months...

Wow! That will be very expensive...

:-))

First new videos will be uploaded on april 1st!

BTW: the old videos work without problems, I just tried it, they are still for free. And my old account is also still OK.

[Elixau]

Does anyone know a solution to my problem? :D

[xt6666]

No, because you not even told us what browser you use and what your settings in the brower are...

[Elixau]

I'm using Firefox

[KazeCloud]

They don't seem to be sending the activation email. It keeps saying my account is not active yet.

Btw, are the only videos you can see even with paying are in the Latest Videos section? The links on the Video Category sections have no videos in them.

[xt6666]

Elixau: Do you have NoScript Addon installed?
If YES: perhaps NoScript does not allow Jave script for that website, so you have to "allow" it.

Or: Is Java scripting enabled in your firefox browser? Enable it...

Perhaps you could also use Internet Explorer (only for this site)

I have "IE View" addon installed in my firefox browser, so if a site does not work well with firefox, then I can right click and choose "open site with internet explorer"...

The videos open in new popup windows, perhaps firefox blocks this popup, but I don't think this is the problem, because you wrote you see the video "loading".

Can you view videos on youtube with firefox?!?

[Elixau]

Yes, I can view videos on Youtube.

[xt6666]

And what about my other questions?

[Elixau]

I don't have that add on installed.

[xt6666]

They don't seem to be sending the activation email. It keeps saying my account is not active yet.

Btw, are the only videos you can see even with paying are in the Latest Videos section? The links on the Video Category sections have no videos in them.

of course not, read the news on the site...

Or read my earlier post (2 or 3 posts above your posting)

Videos will be uploaded starting with april 1st...

[xt6666]

I don't have that add on installed.

You can answer 2 questions in 1 post... :D

[Elixau]

I could :P
Anyways, Java is enabled on my browser and I can't view the videos on IE neither.

[xt6666]

Sorry, then I have no idea what could be the problem...

hm... Do you have adblock installed?

Install it... Then open the video... There will be a "button" on the right top of the video... click on it... You will see a link with a .wmv ending...

Install/Open VLC player and insert the link... Does this work?

BTW: do you use Windows oder Linux? Can you normally play .WMV-files?

[zeddie]

woooo hoooo!!!!

[Elixau]

Where do I insert the link?
And I use Windows.

[Elixau]

I found where to insert the link now!
And I can finally see... Something, but now it's lagging, it's stopping at one screen.

[xt6666]

If you insert that link in a download manager...

But I didn't tell you that...

[Elixau]

Well, I opened VLC media player then I clicked on open network stream, then I pasted the link into the box and checked Stream/Save.

[xt6666]

So is the video still lagging?

If Yes: Insert the link in a download manager, wait till the 50 MB file is downloaded and watch it...

But first be sure that it's not against the "rules" of the site!

I think it should be OK, because the videos are for free.

[Elixau]

Yes the video is still lagging, and I guess I'll try the download manager method tomorrow.
Any other solutions you can think of? :D

[xt6666]

Of course:

Buy the original DVD set from Lee on his homepage!

[zeddie]

yalor.. not too expensive wat :D :p

[xt6666]

So you work for free?

[zeddie]

i was being sarcastic.. its damn expensive -_-"

[xt6666]

I know it was sarcastic, but the videos are hard work, so he wants money...

So I asked if you want to work for free...

[Elixau]

Well, the first part lags, but when I move it to... Almost the last part, it runs smoothly.

I would work for free, but it depends what the work is.

[zeddie]

no one wants to work for free. i actually like his vids.. if i didnt i wouldnt hav paid for his old ones.. but still.. the dvd set is v expensive.

[xt6666]

Well, the first part lags, but when I move it to... Almost the last part, it runs smoothly.

I would work for free, but it depends what the work is.

Are you a millionaire?

I don't think Lee has a "normal" job, Badminton coach is his profession, so he can't do it for free after work...


BTW: he has 63 new videos... I wonder what 1 video will cost... :D


@Elixau: change the "buffering" option in your media player to maximum

[Elixau]

Um, how do I change the buffering option on VLC Media Player?

[xt6666]

Not the VLC player... Windows Media player...

Or does it also lag after downloading the video?!?

[Fijitu]

Sorry to sound like a broken record but could someone please make me an account. Every time I try I get a message saying "error message code 001."
