<DIV>I get the same results with MPlayer-0.90rc2. (Note: This file and the next
work perfectly under windows in their respective players)</DIV>

<DIV>On a related note, the url: <A
href="http://vanseg-1.arc.nasa.gov/nasa_tv.ram">http://vanseg-1.arc.nasa.gov/nasa_tv.ram</A>
doesn't work either, as mplayer complains about avi/asf/mpg headers not being
found. In the past, i've been able to play ram videos (i think) with mplayer.
heres the output - </DIV>
