	Excellent!  I just tried this at home and played around with sites that
I normally frequent.  I found mplayer plugin happy on the
following sites
http://www.apple.com/trailers
http://gamespot.com  (Just choose some video game trailer)
http://cnn.com
http://bbc.co.uk

	mplayer unfortunately barfed trying to view sample lectures from
http://extension.harvard.edu but I know they use some advanced Real
