Movie update
Thanks to Psyrixx, who generously offered to mirror Bravehamster's .avi movie - you can snag it here. No clue how the site will hold up... so if you're getting horribly slow downloading times, maybe try and hold off for a bit. Again: this movie is 81 megs, in .avi format. On a PC, WMP plays it flawlessly (no drops), a major advantage over the .WMP file. QuickTime (on a PC) can't play it at all. On a Mac, WMP can't touch it (go figure), but QT5 plays the video perfectly - and hoses the sound. On the advice of BikeMike, I tried downloading the RAD Video Tools and re-encoding the movie using the DivX codec - it reduced the total filesize by 20 megs (to 60 megs or so), but totally removed sound. Ouch! The original streamed .wmv is still available at Microsoft, and the downloadable .wmv's are still up at Battleground: Halo, for those who can't handle the .avi. (Louis Wu 18:12:17 UTC)
