Don't know how I did it exactly, but I managed to get a download of the BBC4 "Great Britain's Greatest Codebreaker". The show downloaded as a .AVI file. I found a free utility app on the Mac App Store that converts .AVI to MPEG 4. Worked perfectly, looks great streamed to our television. A well done biography, although sad to learn the torture they put him through. :-( Godfrey - godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
