Popular Post Mark Balla Posted August 24, 2012 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 During my time at NI Week I decided to bring my video camera and record the presentations, Tech Theater and LAVA BBQ. Please see this link for Video downloads The IT department of my company was also kind enough to setup a ftp server so I could share them with the community It took a while to figure out how to compress the 5GB HD .mts files to a more distributable avi format but with the help of crelf I finally got them compressed and uploaded to the ftp sites. Vi Engineering and Distek Integration have also volunteered their ftp servers to help distribute the videos Thank you Chris and Ed for your help. The avi files can be downloaded from one of the 3 ftp sites they range in size from 150 to 300MB. I would strongly recomend using an ftp client to transfer them to your computer. A web browser may work but if you want to download multiple viedos the ftp client makes things much easier. To download videos from Distek they are requiring you to use an ftp client. My ftp client of choise is FileZilla and it is free. FileZilla can be downloaded at http://filezilla-project.org/ If you are unfamiliar with FileZilla there is a youtube tutorial video found here The video files are .avi and have been compressed using DivX If you player isn't able to play the videos you will need to install the free DivX codec found at http://www.divx.com/...plus/codec-pack to access the videos via Use this log in information ftp://frc.tecnova.com login: LabVIEW_Videos pw: LabVIEW login and password is case sensitive. if you are using Filezilla your site manager window will look like this. For Use this log in information ftp://tahoe.viengineering.net login: LabVIEW_Videos pw: LabVIEW login and password is case sensitive. if you are using Filezilla your site manager window will look like this. For Username: NIWeek2012 Password: f7aPadl6 Please Note: You will not be able to access the FTP through a web browser! You MUST use an FTP Software Client to access the FTP. To access the ftp.distek.com please use your FTP software client: Client FTPS settings Hostname: ftp.distek.com Port: 990 Client Settings for SFTP using ssh ftp.distek.com Port 22 if you are using Filezilla your site manager window will look like this. If you have any issues downloading the videos or you are unable to view them please post to this topic. Enjoy, and hopfully the videos will help you learn something new about LabVIEW Mark 11 Quote Link to comment
Jordan Kuehn Posted August 24, 2012 Report Share Posted August 24, 2012 Thanks for posting these. Downloading now. If you are using firefox, fireftp is my preferred FTP client. Pretty lightweight and integrates within firefox. Quote Link to comment

Mark Balla Posted August 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 It's 5.29 A.M., my eyes are red and I just finished Norm's video about the rebirth of state machines. IT IS A MUST SEE!!! There are so many good sessions that my head spins but for now I simply love this one. I totally agree this was the best session of NI Week for me. Mostly because I had fallen into the same trap where I wasn't separating my states from my actions. I liked this session so much that our next user group will be using this as our main topic. Hopefully with Norm presenting in person. Keeping all the links in one place, If you are looking for the offical NIWeek 2012 youtube videos. They can be found Quote Link to comment
0_o Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 How nice to here the combination of words: "official NIWeek 2012 youtube videos". Thanks. However, sadlly, non compares to what you did and it's a shame. The world disney effect of NIWeek is not what interests me. Quote Link to comment

Yair Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Did anyone record Darren's Tips and Tricks session? I was so disappointed that I had to miss it... I don't know, but I believe the slides should be available in the group Mark linked to earlier. Quote Link to comment
Mark Balla Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Did anyone record Darren's Tips and Tricks session? I was so disappointed that I had to miss it... There was another person video recording sessions. I spoke with him at NI Week and he did record Darren's as well as other sessions. He promised to send me a DVD of all of his recordings and when I receive them I will upload them to the ftp. Mark Quote Link to comment
starchriss Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) Some help please. I try to play the downloaded videos ( and for atleast 4 downloaded videos from the Vi engineering ftp), the videos just start playing and after like after 5mins. I equally downloaded divX codecs as indicated by Mark, to no avail. Calvin Edited October 16, 2012 by starchriss Quote Link to comment
Yair Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Check the size of the files compared to the size the FTP client says they should be. My guess is that the files weren't downloaded fully (something which can happen with FTP) and AVI files are built in such a way that the file can be played even if you only have part of it. I can say that I watched quite a few of them fully. If this is really the issue, you could try another FTP client (such as FileZilla). Quote Link to comment

John Lokanis Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Are the NI Week 2012 vids gone? I was looking back (after showing some of the new ones to co-workers) at my collection and wanted to grab a few more but they appear to be gone. Quote Link to comment
