Subsequent attempts to download the clip afresh somehow only restart

not really trashed).

Anyway the error message is: "Unknown format: bad data in avi source
file."

Anyone know what it means or how to fix it? Maybe the glitch relates
to the fact that I start playing the clip before it gets done
downloading. ?? These are great clips but RATS! Thanks for any miracle
cure, JP

Use the right button on your mouse and chose "save link as..." in Netscape
(yes i'm old fashion and use Netscape;-), or "save link target as.." in Mozilla
(IE have this option also with some other choise of words) to download the
video locally and start the view from a local downloaded copy.
It seams that you are viewing a copy that are in your local cache and that copy
is faulty for some reason.
