Video clips on Eurosport

[Per ElmsäTer]

Does anybody know how I can watch the video clips that are on www.eurosport.com I'll click on a clip
and a new window opens but nothing ever happens. I have IE 6.0 and a fairly fast DSL line so it
shouldn't be that. Rather some plug-in that I need to install.

Yes. I use Mozilla on Win2k and RealPlayer works just fine.

Thanks. I had recently uninstalled Real Player one day when I was cleaning up my machine. Had so
much **** start up that I wasn't really using. Strange though that Windows Media Player doesn't
handle those clips. I reinstalled Real Player and now everything is just fine.

Maybe, but I don't understand what you are implying. Even though my english looks OK I don't get all
expressions so please explain Besides you didn't even spell it right so my dictionary refuses to
find it

The Real Player file format are propriatory (owned and controlled by Real Media). Since Real Media
Inc. wants you to use their player, they released their encoding format (codec), in hopes that
people would record using it. They don't however let Microsft (M$) have the decoder thus M$ Media
Player cannot and will not recognise nor play the Real Media format.

This is a somewhat ironic/sarcastic way of pointing out the above.......

I spell very badly when I type in a hurry. Mozilla bless it's Heart has no spell check..... That's a
good thing.
