I'm not a web wizard by any means but I've made some progress: The stream is actually sourced from: mms://beloint.wmod.llnwd.net/a125/o1/www.khou.com/soldier_1115.wmv That mms: is the Microsoft Media Server protocol. Googling, I found this page: http://www.metaproducts.com/mp/mpSupport_User_Forums_Message.asp?id=5817 That mentions a beta version but the link is no longer valid. I downloaded the trial version of OEP, and was able to download the file, but I get only the sound and no video, which is the same problem that the person in the above message is asking about. I tried using the recommended settings, but no luck. I've uploaded the file soldier_1115.wmv to my web site, if you want to investigate the sound-only version (perhaps my media player is the culprit and not the file!): http://users.rcn.com/daly5/soldier_1115.wmv I've fiddled with OEP further and searched their forums a bit but no luck. But you could probably pursue it further by asking the people at the OEP forum for some help. I hope this helps! -Bryon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
