Re: Shuttle SRB videos

Chuck, I am still puzzled how you converted that link to something that
allowed you do download the actual wmv files. I copied your link below,
changed the "mms" to "http" and pasted in an html file. When I right click
the link to save the file, the wmv gets changed to "wvx" (I am using IE
which could be the problem ;^) ). Work arounds to streaming crap fascinates
me and you are da man!

The small ".asx" files of the proprietary M$
bull*** are not real video files, although they
try to pass themselves off as such whenever you
give them the chance. They are just text files
pointing to the actual hiding place on the web
of the files you *really* want.

Now, several types of web and multinedia apps
are aware of the "mms://" scam protocol and will
fetch the files directly to your hard disk if
you ask them to.
