The news report video (BBC) is quite good. If you can, check it out.

If what you say about OS X WMP 9 is true, then it's kinda ironic though that a news report about Macs won't run on Macs.

EDIT:

Video works in WMP9 and vlc, but audio does not. (Using Panther.)

The Dell laptop I use for work plays the Windows Media clip just fine, but the audio is very low (although I think that's an issue with the Dell and XP).

I'm working on converting the clip to a Quicktime movie -- I'll report back if I get anything working.

I've converted the BBC Windows Media Player clip in to a QuickTime Movie (320x240 - 16MB).

Enjoy!

Hi Walter,
Thanks very much for the Video...I also enjoyed your tribute to Everyday Heroes. Very, very nicely done. I urge everyone to check it out, but not so many as to shut down his .mac account!

Very talented production.

Thanks for that. I mirrored the video here:

The .mpg version seems better, I mirrored that too:

Wow, thank you so much Walter, how mighty generous of you. Very much appreciated indeed. : )

Would you mind sharing the steps and software involved in this conversion? Anything that would help me getting rid of any microsoft crapware off my brand new dualie would be indeed a blessing!

Peace,

JM
