Sean, I'm sorry for failing to provide the video in an open encoding format. I'm a rookie with video production (a week ago I didn't know what DV was), and therefore bound to make mistakes. I've now made available the video in Ogg Theora format on the project's web page: <http://www.spinellis.gr/itrain>. Many thanks for your detailed transcoding instructions.
