site with free video matches

Below is a site I found when this board was down.

Welcome to trickshooter.com, where you can order The Trick Shot Screen Saver for your PC. It has over 40 trick and artistic pool shots and five soundtracks. We also offer FREE, on demand, pro pool matches on streaming video, an internet exclusive!

It currently has a 27 min match between Jim Rempe and Jose Parica.

All these matches are free. But you need Real Player to view them. A while back my son had Real Player on the computer when he was downloading music. But it isn't on here since he switched to the newer windows xp I think. My son said not to bother with Real Player because it isn't worth it. So I can only view the first match. I click on the broadband view. But I can only watch in when the box is small. When I click on the square to enlarge that screen, it goes to a green blank screen and then I can't watch that one. Is that Real Player something you have to keep on paying for to keep updating it? Thanks.

Eddie, I've gotten several versions of realplayer and never had to pay for it. The player is free but they try to sell you the fancier versions with extras included. Try this site:

I don't have a fast enough connection to get videos that play well. So far I haven't seen streaming video that worked well enough to get a faster connection. There's no reason tournaments couldn't be show live on a subscription basis except that streaming video isn't good enough yet.

Thanks Ken.
The other places I saw it wanted charge card info. I downloaded it. Now to use it I entered www.trickshooter.com (http://www.trickshooter.com) in the location box. And I'm watching a match now. But the picture part is a small square in the middle of the top section of the screen.
Is there a way to enlarge this viewing area?
And whenever I want to use it do I just have to enter the url in the loaction box?
Thanks again.

Good call with the video matches site. I enjoyed watching some of them. Here is another link that also has videos: http://www.insidepool.com/cgi-bin/image/gallery.cgi , however they are not the whole match, but they show shots, and breaks from various players.

Hit ctrl+2 or ctrl+3 to enlarge the video. I watch the videos with ctrl+3 (full screen). The reason they look crappy is because the author uploaded it that way so that it would take less time to download. It could be very clear, but it would take forever to download.
