I find cmd an abomination so I don't pay it much attention ;) So it would seem like those command-line parameters are not needed for anything. I did a test using HTTP Werkzeug and found that to be the case -- so I presume you received the same errors as me but it didn't matter as they don't seem to serve much of a purpose anyway :) This worries me more:

Like that is going to work, mate.

As for the video, hm I can see where, as a woman, you won't really find it the most appealing thing to watch! It's not that great, nothing much seems to happen.

[OT] What OS do you run, Martina?

Thank you for thinking I would use some Unix, but no, unfortunately not. I'm sitting on Win XP here. The last recent statements form Microsoft (DRM, WGA and such) make me think about changing to Linux, but then, my job is Windows software development...

With the "&" you are probably right, although they say in http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/cmd.mspx that multiple commands on a line have to be separated by "&&". I'm not an experienced mplayer user, so maybe one has to quote the URL or to rewrite the "&" or something. I got some error messages to after dumping the stream, hm, ignored them.

Finally, if no one here asks it seems all who are intereted are happy. If not - don't care, the clip is not worth the effort in my opinion.

I don't have mplayer (just mplayerc) but I was curious to test the instructions. Windows 2000 accepts a command that long (whereas 128 chars probably is a COMMAND.COM limit in Win 9x), but apparently, & is a command separator in Windows NT (-> NT/2k/XP), so every & in the URL starts a new command and it throws up a ton of errors:

'noStream' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
