BadNitrus/Window Media Player Question!
I recently discovered BadNitrus and was wondering, Is there a Faster Windows Media Player because it stops between the ride to load...Or can I look at it with Quicktime Player?
Any Help is VERY Appriciated!

If I understand your question correctly, then it is merely the fact that you are playing the video before it is completely downloaded. Wait for it to finish downloading, then play it.
whenever i try 2 use the windows media player it always acts up and stops playing :-( anyone know why?
I too, have a problem with it. It gets to 2% and then dies on me for some reason. I tried it out at school, it goes through ok, but takes about 2+ hours to fully load...

Here's the thing... MPEG is not a streaming format. You're best off downloading the file to your disk first, then playing it.
Streaming Windows Media, like that found in the gallery on Guide to The Point, is a streaming format that plays in real time. I prefer it over Real because it looks better to me, and the streaming software is built into the server I already have. :) No streaming format is perfect (though QuickTime 5 will be pretty close), so you'll get skipage if you're on a crowded network or on a modem to an over-utilized ISP.
QuickTime is the best trade-off for quality and file size, without a doubt. I can get file sizes way down and maintain outstanding quality. Version 4 is not strictly intended for streaming, but 5 is, and it's looking very good. QuickTime should rule the world. Just check out that high-res MF POV on GTTP...

It is easier to download files like that with Download Accelerator Plus. I think the URL is http://www.downloadaccelerator.com/
