I found the "correct" urls at Ourmedia - My Page - Track. If you rt
click on the movies there, you should get the correct url.
Here's the post:
Internet Archive Chages Video URL's
Video blogs across the internet are suffering from many-a dead link. It
looks like the Internet Archive (and obviously Ourmedia) has been doing
some reconfiguration with some stuff, which has recently been causing
problems for Vloggers trying to upload videos. But this new problem
effects videos that have already been uploaded and linked on your video
blog.
If when you posted your video, you linked to the URL that started with
something that looks like this:
http://ia108026.us.archive.org/3/items/Your Name/Title.mov
then you probably wind up with a nice error message.
So, now all those people who have dead links need to go back into the
Archive or Ourmedia and link to the URL that looks like this:
http://www.archive.org/download/Title_of_Post/Title.mov
I guess we all have learned our lesson as to which URL to link to from
now on. Either way, it would have been nice to know that this was going
to happen, or exactly which URL's to link to
Steve Watkins does a nice job of explaining the situation in his post
to the Video Blogging Yahoo Group
