    Just a heads up: I just caught the end of a commercial about a tv special about the Rockets trip to China.

    It's on ch 2 at 6:30pm this Saturday.

    I gotta set my vcr now because I know I'll forget if I don't.

    Does that work on a MAC? I am not sure. I just mention Quicktime because it works well on a mac.

    FAOS, as for download time, it probably would take while. But I have broadband and I am in no hurry. ;)

    I found this:

    http://www.click2houston.com/station/3862193/detail.html

    HOUSTON -- Emmy award-winning Local 2 anchor Linda Lorelle gives you an insider's view of the two-time World Champion Houston Rockets' historic trip to China in "Houston's Chinese Connection", which airs Saturday Oct. 30, at 6:30 p.m. on KPRC-TV.

    Linda reveals the mystery, intrigue and wonderment encountered when she joined NBA superstar Yao Ming and his Rockets teammates on their recent trip to the Land of the Rising Sun.

    From Yao's Beatle-esque hometown welcome, to the local fanaticism for all things American and basketball-related, to the historic Shanghai and Beijing games against the Sacramento Kings, see why the Rockets' trip to China was more than just another pre-season road game.

    Witness a week in China through the eyes of the Houston Rockets and their Chinese fans, on "Houston's Chinese Connection," Saturday Oct. 30, at 6:30 p.m., only on KPRC-TV/Local 2.

    KPRC-TV/Local 2 is Houston's NBC affiliate and is owned by Post-Newsweek Stations.

    it is basically a delegatory program that utilizes the Quicktime structure to play Xvid videos.

    if for some reason you have trouble with that, shoot me a mail thru the baord and Ill help ya get it working.

    I hope someone makes a TORRENT out of this documentary. I'm not from the Houston area and would really like to watch this show.

    havent seen r2k online to ask him, but as for the xvid mac question, while xvid is mainly a windows/linux video codec someone has been able to make a xvid decoder for the mac, I do remember seeing and reading about it, if that link above that r2k posted doesnt help just google it.

    thanks r2k for it, will it be in ur stash when ready?
