Is this working for anyone?

Working for me....Never had a problem with any of his videos.

Don't know if it makes a difference, but I save the files to
disk then play them.

I have quicktime 6.5 and it has no problems with the files
I've downloaded.

George P, what file are you trying that's bringing up Winamp?
Sounds like you have some file extension association problems.

Are you using IE? I'm using Netscape. Maybe that makes a difference.

Netscape 7.1 on W2Kpro SP4, but I use GetRight download manager
for all my downloads. I need the resume d/l capability for those
100+ megabyte downloads on this slow dial up. Can't get any form
of high speed at my location.

Works for me too. I can play all these videos in RealPlayer.

A note on the content though -
The video entitled "Airbus Autoland Crash" has nothing to do with autoland.
The plane was being manually flown on a demonstration flight at the time.
The pilot claims he pushed it forward after his low pass, and the engines
just "coughed" and waited forever before spooling up. The embarrassed
manufacturer claims the pilot simply botched the low pass, flew too low and
did not begin his recovery in time.

When I click on the link Jay posted, A little box comes up with the file name
"Boeing 747 Extreme Landing.mpg", the text ":what do you want to do with this
file?", and two radio buttons, the top one of which says "Open with." The windo
beside that button has "Winamp (default)" in it. When I click OK, that box
disappears, I get a "downloads complete" message, then the Winamp window
appears. It has the file name in it, but nothing else. Clicking "Play" has no
effect.

Quite likely. I've had some problems with spyware lately, and Ad-aware has
probably reset some stuff. What's a good player for these on a Windows 2000 OS?

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Winamp (AFAIK) only plays audio, no video. MP3 is an mpeg format so
there could be some confusion going on there.

I have several multimedia players and sometimes I have to open
the appropriate player and load the file from within rather than
the double-click method. Some formats, like avi, can have a wide
variety of possible codecs. One avi will play in one player, the
next may need a different player.

But in answer to your question, I have PowerDVD 4.0, Quicktime 6.5,
Real Player 10.5, and Divx 2.5.3, and tons of codecs. I rarely
have a problem except with some .wmv files and that I don't have
the newest codecs yet.

Come to think of it, it may just be a codec problem.

Additional info. The wmv file that Bob Fry posted displays perfectly.
