This is a link to a huge archive of information about past crocks at tEp, with scripts, videos, and audio recordings from back before we had video cameras.

This is a more concise listing of titles and available media, including many links to video recordings of the crocks! I particularly like the prologue to the crock from 2002 entitled "One Ring to Fool Them All".

Short movie watching guide.

Several people have asked how to view these properly. These were all encoded using the open source libavcodec and mencoder (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/). I don't know how to use any other movie players, but they should definately work with mplayer. A windows executable for mplayer can be found at

http://ftp5.mplayerhq.hu/mplayer/releases/win32/ Just download that zip file and extract it to your Program Files directory. You'll need to manually change file associations by looking at the folder options and looking at the File Types tab.

Debian packages of mplayer can be apt-get'd by putting

deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main

in your /etc/apt/sources.list (with unstable replaced by your system, of course). Then,

apt-get update
apt-get install mplayer-386
(replace 386 with your architecture)

although, in the recent past I believe it's been merged into the Ubuntu multiverse, and I know Gentoo has a portage file for it. I imagine Redhat (or fedora or whatever) has a package too, but I don't touch Redhat with a 22 foot pole.
