Put CD in your computer and search folders for a ~53MB file named EPK.mov (or similar name). You will need Apples Quicktime 6 to play it. You can download the player from free Apple at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ then go through their multi step hassel to get it dl & installed.

On my CD , the bonus video is in the folder :
drive letter:\DATA\QTS

And the file is names 2SPEED.mov

So the fulle file path could be something like:
D:\DATA\QTS\2SPEED.mov

Simply double click on that file and if you have quicktime installed it will open automatically.

Or another way would be to double click on the file names START.EXE at the root of the CD.

I hope this helps... ... ...

P.S. You aint dumb, just not a geek that spend on arage 18 hours a day behind a keyboard like us.

I just put mine in the CD drive & it Automaticly started playing the Art of War e.v.e

It is hard to work out what is going on with your computer, one would think if you have Qtime it should work but :pcangry: computers seem to have a mind of there own somtimes :btear:

Well, I don't own this CD ... :paeek:

We could continue to try to help. I would need to know what operating system you are using. Perhaps what letter (if any) is assigned to your CD-Rom drive. In the end, it may require a lot of trust, and the use of a "Remote Assistance" program (like MSN Messenger or Windows XP).

it might be a defect but EMI shall not be liable for any actual of consequential damages arising from the use of, or the inability to use the program. i have a friend who also have the problem same as yours.

Well, it´s just an idea, but you could try seeing the video in another computer. If that doesn´t work, then it might be a problem with the cd itself

Ok!
I believe you are talking about the best of...
Ltd edition with the photo album, that comes
in a cardboard sleeve.
cat #7243 5 57329 03

If so I must also say that I have the same problem
except every time I even place the disc into my drive
it locks my system up causing me to pull the plug.

My advice is, see if you can obtain the European or US version.

Rijko does your copy work?

Actually I have two copies of this cd. One regular European release and an Asian special edition with a photo album, abd both have the enhanced video element.

In the main directory is a 'Start' icon. Double click will start the video.

Moreover, I also possess a EMI demo version of the 'Best of' cd, which doesn't have 'Art of War' audio nor enhanced video element.

BTW, scans of the photo album can be found in the multi-media section of the FSVM website.

Rijko,
does your copy of the Ltd Best of.... (with photo album)video work?
mine doesn't, it just crashes my System.

I have he 'Normal' Enhanced version and that plays OK!

Arioch,

The enhanced video element works fine on both my cd's. I have no problems whatsoever.

You may want to use a boot disk (floppy-start disk), boot to DOS, then explore the CD and copy the .mov file to the Hard Drive. Then remove the CD & Boot disk and restart normally. This should at least get the file away from the CD and possibly to a more managable location. Hope you remember your DOS commands.

Above is the brute force method. The problem likely is the auto run feature is enabled for your CD Drive on your PC. You can turn that off but I forget how. Google/Yahoo search should reveal the method. Problem root is likely that EMI's chosen method of auto run is not compatable with your operating system which to me is very bizzare, but then again, it is EMI we are talking about.
