A load of mangled-by-being-treated-as-ASCII binary content in a saved file on my harddisk is only a slight fraction more use than a load of mangled-by-being-treated-as-ASCII binary content in the viewport of the web browser.

I swear some people ....

Ahh now there's your problem - Mozilla!

. Seriously though - FF on my mac, t3h linux under virtual pc and windows (IE and firefox) both identify it correctly as a WMV file (non-ascii) and save it in the required way. I've not touched my mime types on these systems either - the linux "image" is a pretty fresh one too - a run of the mill ubuntu install and firefox yet they all seem to deal with it fine. Fraid I'm gonna have to call a "your box sux" on this one I'm afraid

Zoom in to make it bigger.

Or in the case of this video file. Zoom in to make it really, really blocky

ITYM 'big and blocky' as opposed to 'small and blocky'

I guess it's time for:

Elisabeth Welch
"Stormy Weather"

The people who was into Industrial Records' output of TG and SPK hated that single almost as much as the people of New Orleans hate Gustav.

It's madness!

It is getting busy in the Atlantic.

When there's hurricanes the Scientologists gather all their OT 8s in Clearwater to make things go right.

Cuba is going to get it.

But it is OK as it is God giving some fire and brimstone to those unholy communists.

Yeah but then it looks quite likely to smack New Orleans again.

OK then in that case it is Mother Gaia avenging the eco-crimes committed by fat SUV-driving Americans.

It is called Ike.
