All the movies and clip excerpts below are under development and may be subject to frequent change. The EXE files should be smoother than the AVI clips.

Episode I:

 

Now with full narration and music!

Final release, v16, 7'10'' Version of June 2006

.exe (406 MB) - MONO version

.avi (463 MB) - MONO version



Old release, v14, 7'10''
.exe (334 MB) - 3D STEREO version

.avi (398 MB) - 3D STEREO version

The AVI files require a codec; see instructions below.

The EXE file runs in Windows only.

The 3D Stereo versions were prepared to be viewed with RED-CYAN anaglyph glasses. RED on the left-hand side, CYAN on the right-hand side.

 


Episode II:

Now with full narration and music!

 

Final release v24 (Full Detector, 14'10'') Version of June 2006

Other Animations:

AVI file for use in PowerPoint and websites

 

.avi (18.6MB) Low Resolution 320x240 10fps

.avi (24.3MB) Medium Resolution 640x480 10fps

  • The 45-second clip used as intro in the atlas.ch website. The codec used is Intel Indeo 5.10, which is installed by default with Windows.



File for broadcast

 

.mpg(36.3MB) PAL Resolution 720x576 25fps

.avi(49.0MB) PAL Resolution 720x576 25fps

  • The 45-second clip used as intro in the atlas.ch website. The mpg file is MPEG2 encoded. The avi file uses the 3ivx codec. (see instructions below to play).


Instructions to run the movies:

 

The executable files are encoded in a special video format (bik) and already include the proper player. In computers with Windows 98/Me/XP and DirectX 8 or higher it plays without need of extra software. A graphics card supporting DirectDraw enhances slightly the image quality. In computers with Windows 2000, it will not run unless the last service pack is installed. In Linux, any windows crossover software (wine, wmware, codeweavers...) should allow its execution.

If you prefer a more standard video file, use the AVI version. The codec used is Xvid, a mpeg4 class compliant, with very high quality. You can use any mpeg4 class codec to decode it. If you don't have any installed, try the excellent 3ivx. In the top-right corner, select your Operating System (Windows, Unix/Linux, MacOS, Amiga or BeOS) and follow the installation instructions.

The MPG files are MPEG2 compliant and can be viewed using any DVD playing software. You can also install a mpeg2 codec (like the excellent Elecard) and open the files using any media player.
