unknown 70's disco video (no sound) - please help

[flamenco]

What band is this?

Unfortunately, some joker erased the audio track and replaced it with another, so all we have to go by is the video.

It's been driving me bloody mad. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

The video didn't work, but the image capture on the right hand side looks like this video:

Apache - Seebach Band

Disco Funk

I can confirm that the white guy with the big/afro hair and the dodgy moustache is none other than Denmark's finest, Tommy Seebach (who unfortunately died a couple of years ago) :sad:
Therefore Disco Funk is almost certainly right. ;)

Does anyone know why the video does not work and that the "Q" with a ? appears.

I have the QuickTime player (for PC) and see that image when I cannot view the video or see a picture on other websites too.

Does anyone know why that happens? Does it require a paid upgrade for QuickTime?

the youtube window should open without triggering Quicktime player, the only thing I can think of is that quicktime player in your PC is setup as default to play everything. you need to change that, it's best if it only plays quicktime files, click "my computer" -> tools - folder options->file types, and here you can see/change what files quicktime handles, but it could get complicated, :-?best is to remove/uninstall Quicktime and see if it fixes your problem withYoutube , you can always re-install it later making sure this time to tell it during installation to handle Quicktime files only.


That version of Apache is nice,:D here is a more "disco" version by
Electric Playground Orchestra from Canada (1976)

Hey Mixmachine,

QuickTime is not my default player, but I did use your suggestion and went ahead and uninstalled the program. And still the youtube. file would not open. However, I was able to download the video and watch it. And also to put QuickTime back into my programs.

I asked because Disco Funk had a problem opening the video also. And I have this problem on other websites where I also don't have QuickTime set as a default for any file type.

I'm still at a loss at what the "Q" with a ? means. But thanks for the help.

that is weird, that first link works fine for me, check your firewall settings, and since you were able to play the video after downloading it I think you do have a flash player installed, right?
if not you need one to play online videos like Youtube.
