  1. Use the source, luke, use the source. by cyt0plas · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A number of the clips use clips from (or at least available in the) Prelinger Archives.

    All of these videos require you to attribute their work should you build on it. It would be nice if they would provide credit to their sources as well (although, as public domain, they are not required to).

    Fuck, man, I just double click the file and it opens.

    No you dont. First you download QuickTime and make sure you got up to date codecs. Then you go clicking on things. The poster above, on the other hand, had all he needed but didnt know how to turn it on. That does not make your environment in any way superior. Just different.

    The mplayer is one of the most sophisticated and powerful media players, capable of playing so many formats on so many devices that it makes Windows based playback tools look silly by comparison. But it does require a bit of know-how.
