When you can do this, who needs automatic weapons?

(The shooter, by the way, is Jerry Miculek.)

(Oh yeah ... further discussion here.)

You can't play it? Don't have mplayer? It plays perfectly for me in the latest Mplayer release, if you have all the updated codecs.

Neither can I. :-(

Don't have mplayer?

That, I wouldn't know for sure. But obviously, the answer is No.

Hahhhh... Now I _know_ I don't have it! Or wouldn't know, if I did. Or how to use it, if I did. lol

Windows Media Player should also Just Work.

FYI, Mplayer is an open source media player application developed in Hungary, originally for Linux, but with the eventual goal of being able to play any video file format on any platform. This is challenging because so many codecs -- compression/decompression libraries -- are proprietary. The classic example is the Sorensen video codec for Apple's Quicktime -- Apple kept pointing the finger at Sorensen and claiming Sorensen wouldn't allow Apple to release the spec, but Sorensen maintained it was Apple that wouldn't allow Sorensen to release it.
