Those are excellent refreshers for those of us who
haven't used some of this machinery for awhile.

It isn't urgent to solve this problem, since I can always go to the library,
make an appointment to use one of their PC's for a half hour, and and try to
watch one of the videos on their PC's under Windows.

I downloaded and played using mplayer on a Debian/Sarge installation:

There is a plug-in for Mozilla at

http://mplayerplug-in.sourceforge.net/

but I'm not sure if this will work w/ Netscape.

I downnloaded the movies also, but even after upgrading Quicktime to the

sounds echoie(sp). This is the reason I upgraded Quicktime to the latest
version. Any ideas?

Then when I click on it, Quick Time player (that can be downloaded from apple ) runs it.
Window Media might as well as other programs.

A guess: do you perhaps have software driven audio ? Is your audio built
in to the motherboard ? A lot of motherboard sound implementations used
the CPU to do some of the work, and during video the CPU happens to be
very busy.

Being right is more powerfull than large corporations or governments.
The right argument may not be pervasive, but the facts eventually are.

They're MOV files which are Apple QuickTime movies. I wasn't sure whether
ther's a version for Linux available so I took a look at their site and
found this statement:

"QuickTime is a truly cross-platform technology. It supports Mac OS X,
Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, and Windows XP."

It looks like you'll have no choice but to view it at the library as you
said. QT isn't automatically supported by Windows though so you may still
have a problem but it's worth a try.

I downloaded the files and watched them with mplayer on my RHEL 3.0WS
system. I think there is a quicktime plugin for Mozilla, but I've never
installed it because I like the player controls in mplayer.

The instructions said to use Windows 98 or better, so I installed RedHat.
