That's odd...I ran it through a Huappauge USB "box" that converts external video to MPEG2. I use the free version of BS player that usually plays just about anything.
FWIW, the file is running onn my windows player also, but I download a lot of codec megapacs.
Let's try Divx next time for fun....

The message I got when Windows looked for the codec is that the file is MPEG2.
For whatever reason, I don't have that codec. And they aren't free, apparently.
This happened before when I downloaded from that site.
I assume this goes back to me not having a DVD drive and the software that would have come with it.
I don't know how unusual I am.

The original link worked for me. Seems like some people just need some software updates
Snakeman - "Oooh yeah! Oooooh yeah!"
That has to be the most understandable thing I've ever heard him say besides "Oooooooooooooo!"

I believe your file hates the Mac that I'm working on. I've tried opening it in Quicktime, Real player, and Windows media. No luck whatsoever. It keeps saying incompatible file or some crap like that. Oh well. Thanks for trying.

Apparently, out of frame, Coach Brandon has a grill going with a cooler full of Bud Lights next to him. Thus, the Snakeman appearance.

Do you think Snakeman would have a clue if everyone started calling him "Minnie"??

I once went up to Toledo, got pretty trashed, and went home with this girl. When I woke up, that's what was laying next to me....(shudder)...
