Oh my gosh, Eric, that sucks! Maybe someone could just mail you a copy and save you further hair pulling trying to get it.

See that would be the ultimate Christmas gift. Director's cut anyone? I'll send you some special Eric Ragno swag as a trade. : )

Wish I could help you but I just have this version. I've never seen the directors cut , would love to have that one too.

No worries, I'm trying the download again to a different drive while I go to sleep. Maybe in the morning I'll find I had better luck!

Thanks again,

E

This just isn't my day.

ahhhhhhhh,, thank you ... BIG help!

Probably Windows saved it onto a temp folder on the same drive as where you wanted to save the file onto. When it then starts to copy there isn't enough space since you need to have twice the free space available (in this case 1400 MB).

I have created a multi-volume .rar file, since that might be easier..... I've also created a divx compressed version which is much smaller.

Cheers,

oh....oh dear. I tried downloading it again last night while I slept and it timed out. Maybe that explains why?

Why can't I get ANY of these links to work? I tried the first link that Laura put up, and it did the same thing to me that it did to Rip Rokken...it makes you install an add-on and then goes straight to Media Player and tries to play it, then it says "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player might not support the file or a required codec might not be installed on your computer." I tried the Badongo thing and I was able to download all the pieces but when I went to merge them, each segment took an hour and a half and then I got an error. I tried Michael's link and it did take a while, and when Media Player came up, you could see the file sitting over in the "Now Playing" pane but nothing was happening. Nothing happened when I selected "Play" manually, either. Is there something special I need to do to play this? So, when that didn't work, I downloaded the first piece of SteveK2007's file, and it took over 2 1/2 hours to download, and then when I tried to play it, I got the sound only, no picture. What in the world do I need to do to watch this thing???????

Download the divx version off my site in about 30 minutes from now, that should work. If it doesn't play download the divx codecs from www.divx.com or on my site.

Thanks, Michael, I will try that. I hope I can get it to work!

Okay, Michael, now what? I downloaded your file divxinstaller.exe, saved it onto my computer, installed it, then I clicked on your link to the Behind The Music divx.avi file. Still nothing. Is there something else I am supposed to do other than double-click on the file name in order for it to run? It doesn't give me an option to save it or run it, it just tries to stream through Media Player. After sitting there for a couple of hours, the file shows up in the "Now Playing" pane but when I click on "Properties," it says the file is 0.00 length. Any ideas? Thanks for being patient with me...nothing I try seems to work!

Perhaps the downloaded divx is faulty, although I just played it without problems. I suggest you download the rar files for the divx file. You will need winrar ( www.rarlab.com ) to extract it, but at least you'll be sure that you have a good file. Then it should be a matter of doubleclicking the .avi file. Now, since Windows mediaplayer gives me problems sometimes I use the GOM player myself. www.gomplayer.com

Let me know if this works!

Cheers,

Michael

To be sure, download the divx rar files (right click each and save to your local disk), streaming isn't a good option.

OMG! It worked!!!! Thank you SO MUCH, Michael for all your help! You're the best!

Got it, thanks for posting, enjoyed wayching this, feels weird seeing the little line running at the bottom say, 2003 tour with Styx and Reo kicking off in Las Vegas. Dumbest comment when Dean said "Steve Perry with a perm.They should a part 2 picking upwhere this left off. There is enough material for it thats for sure. Couldnt burn it to a CD though,

I was looking through my DVDs over the weekend and saw I already have BTM...D'oh! :lol:

by **Rip Rokken** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 12:23 am

Got it a few days ago, and it was really great quality. Thanks! I watched it the other night, and the only thing about the special I found to be strange was J.C.'s sobbing spell. It may have been very genuine, but for some reason it just didn't look that way on camera. That was very cool what they did for that kid.

Uh yeah, that's been the topic of some interesting discussions in years past. ALOT of people thought that was the most fake display of emotion they'd ever seen. Look closely. Do ya see tears? Nope, didn't think so!

by **stevew2** » Fri Dec 28, 2007 4:05 am

Never saw a tear, not one

After meeting Cain and learning a bit more about his personality, I think it's definitely genuine. The guy definitely wears his heart on his sleeve.

Can you believe its already been almost 7 years since those episodes???

Watched it again -- I hate to accuse anyone of faking something like that, but there weren't any tears at all. Came off really badly -- the lowest spot of the special.
