I had luck with MPlayer. It starts the stream slower than Windows Media Player, but once it does it works well. You will probably need to download some additional codecs. There are codecs with the Ubuntu distro that are marked as something like "for development only" I forget exactly what). But that makes it work with just about everything but the Real Networks proprietary type of files. The Helix player won't open them, but tells you instead that you have to install real player.

I can get your visa application ready to file in two weeks (except for required documents) for $699. It will take you a lot longer to do it yourself and the applicant won't be a resident of Canada until you do. You might also make a dumb mistake!
