Thanks, I appreciate any and all replies to this query. It isn't often
you find a web content provider willing to resolve issues not related to
the Windows OS. CRN Media informed me today (12-3), that tonights stream
will be using Windows Media Encoder 7 and asked that I try it again.

10pm - 1am EDT http://www.rense.com/anncm1.htm lists the various formats
and links to the archives.

Many thanks for the tireless efforts of the MPlayer and AVIFile
developers and users.
