If you can, use the "extreme" speed & full-screen mode. Looks even better than I remember it. It had been "ripped off" so often on youTube, I guess they decided to set it free.

Cripes, the old NFB is probly trying to get things right! My understanding is that they're now comfy with anyone downloading it and burning onto standard def TV... ...which was what it was made for. It's already had its rounds, and the crummy bootleg copies are everywhere. Stay tuned, they're trying!

i get page load error too.
the clip from the national
film board of canada
begins with film footage
of log drivers "dancing"
on logs in a river..
very good foot work!

and it morphs into an
animated video of
more log dancing..
apparently it is a waltz

hope to hear the music

here is one of the lo-res
coies

Yep!, something has gone wrong. This morning I watched it and now I can't even get the page. Will try tomorrow.

I get "Address Not Found. Firefox can't find the server at beta.nfb.ca." Is it maybe IE-specific? No...tried that too.
