Windows Refund day Videos

If you got to this page directly without visiting the main page, you may want to go there first. This page has the links to the video clips of the newscasts shown TV the evening of Feb 15th (windows refund day). The MPEG versions are clearly the best, but they're big. The AVI versions will give you a decent idea of what it looked like. I recommend you use mtv for the MPEGs, and xanim for the AVIs. Note that the Cinepak codec (which you need) is in binary form only and therefore Redhat (and maybe other distributions) have chosen not to ship it. This means that the xanim you have on your system may not be able to play the above videos, and that you should get xanim yourself. It is likely that the mirror site(s) will be faster during the initial slashdot effect Main Site | Mirror #1 (Courtesy of Lucas Starrett)
