I am trying to look at



<a href="http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/aboutus/story/0,24330,3403577,00.html"; target="_blank">http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/aboutus/story/0,24330,3403577,00.html</a>;



and it says it can't load. Nothing on the page says it's incompatible with Mac.



&lt;rant&gt;

"Windows Media" is the best example of why monopolies (*#@&%(@#*&;%@#()$*&ing SUCK, and were made illegal.

&lt;/rant&gt;

    No clue why it won't work, if you look at the source code of the page, you can yank out the url of the movies... it's in an embed tag. With them, just open up WMP and use the open url command (cmd-u):



    Ideally, you should use IE, the WMP plug-in seems to work fine with it and it'll play in the browser window. If you use Chimera/Moz, then you'll have to look at the source of each page and find the mms://..... location for it.
