I have now played with it a bit, and noticed it to be
senselessly written -- if it detects an error, it often
goes into infinite loop :-( (I suppose David didn't
cause that trouble..)
(ftp://mm-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/mpeg/movies/waterski.mpg
Same directory has also RedsNightmare.mpg ... And they
also are copied into directory:
ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/graphics/packages/mpeg/movies/
in case the 2 kbps from Berkeley is slow, and you want to
see, if you can get 30+ kB out of FUNET..)

Indeed, quite nice work at that.
