This, playing it in the browser, is exactly what I wanted, but
unfortunately in my FreeBSD 6.0 laptop at the moment only works
flashplayer 6 (and not the actual version 7.0.63.x) and even this is
a native Linux one because Macromedia is not willing to make a real
FreeBSD version.  So I had the idea to try it with MPlayer.

Thanks for this and all the other hints. The downloaded files play
well with MPlayer and I can live with that as I'm used to use working
in xterms and shells :-)
