There is a GUI version of mplayer for windows avaliable on the internet.
I dont have the exact URL but I know it's there since I installed it on
my gf's computer and used it myself.
Btw I thought FreeBSD users were using FreeBSD and that we did not
support Windows related problems on this mailing list...

Gee clever.
Of course I use freebsd, including the topical -current.
I just don't play videos on my servers. Most don't even have sound hardware, 
let alone x and other multimedia libs and apps.

If the video itself is topical then a certain amount of discussion about it 
is also.

A discussion of windows media players is clearly off topic, but that's not 
what this is.
At first, as far as I could tell, the video was simply broken. Most of this 
has simply been establishing the truth and/or extent of that.
I put that if it's allowed to offer a video, it's at least allowed to report 
some problem accepting the offer.

Anyone among the audience of the announcement (including future archive 
readers) might have the same problem, so posting the problem and having the 
ensuing discussion which includes various functional workarounds and 
solutions, go to the same audience seems only sane and considerate.
