Your computer is messed.  The entire thing is in color.  Maybe change your 
desktop color depth and/or download the latest player?

Has everyone grabbed this yet?  I'm taking it offline Saturday and it's a slow 
link so start downloading it *now*.

Okay, the documentary that everyone missed is online here:

ftp.mindcandydvd.com:/pub/misc

There is a modem-bitrate version and an ISDN-bitrate version.  I will be 
taking these offline in a week so please snag them now.  (BTW I'm going 
on vacation Sunday - Wednesday so I may not be contactable during that 
time.)

The documentaries were edited in an extremely busy fashion -- I 
counted the number of shots in a minute and it was over 30 (!!) so the 
video is constantly moving and changing.  As such, I didn't even try to 
concentrate on motion, but rather sharpness and clarity so that you can 
actually see detail in the video.  So the framerate on the modem version 
is about 4 fps and about 8 fps on the ISDN version, but hey, you can 
actually see what they're talking about instead of it being a blurry mess.

BTW Dan, I tried Quicktime -- Sorenson refused to hit ISDN bitrates, and 
the MPEG-4 didn't have audio... so much for that.
