I tried that yesterday, but it didnt appear to load the video. It sat there trying to load, eating 99% of the CPU for about 20 mins. The file is only 136MB's and I wouldnt expect it to take that long on an AMD 2800 w/1GB ram. It looked promising, but didnt seem to work. The Mplayer info on the file is below:
