Let me just add how I got to that info, in case it might help. The
video link at the khou site points to a tiny < 1K file named
soldier_1115.wmv. This is actually a html-ish text file. I've uploaded
it to my site (http://users.rcn.com/daly5/wes_vid.txt), but it's small
enough to paste here:
<asx version="3.0" BANNERBAR = "FIXED" PREVIEWMODE = "NO">
<title>www.khou.com/soldier_1115.wmv</title>
<entry>
<ref href="mms://beloint.wmod.llnwd.net/a125/o1/www.khou.com/ soldier_1115.wmv"/>
</entry>
</asx>
Thanks to Bryon's forensic hacking, a cast of 100s of open source developers, and my well-known inability to leave something like this alone, I have a copy of the video on my laptop, and will get it to you tomorrow. It's 2.8MB.
For those who are interested, I used the -dumpstream option of MPlayer 1.0pre5-3.3. It built and installed on my 15" Aluminum PowerBook with ease (if only my work projects compiled as easily).
You gotta love open source programmers. Here's what appeared on the screen at the end of the download:
everything done. Thank you for downloading a media file containing proprietary and patentend technology. Core dumped ;)
(But it didn't really coredump).
Blessings,
Dave
