This is the link he posted first:

When I clicked on that my Windows Media Player opened and then said it couldn't play the thing. "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because the specified protocol is not supported. If you typed a URL in the Open URL dialog box, try using a different transport protocol (for example, "http:" or "rtsp:")."

So Baer emailed me a link to a different version of the video, smaller file, which opened in QuickTime. I could tell that it was downloading to my computer, but when the blinking stopped on the modem, the bright blue Q had been replaced by a faded one with a question mark in the middle and nothing clickable anywhere.

Here is the link Baer emailed:

Does my computer not like Dropbox or what the heck is going on? Other folks seem to be able to watch this.

HELP!!!!!!!
 
My computer will play both files, but the first one has much better quality images. It takes several minutes to load, however. How old is your computer? How much RAM do you have? Have you done routine maintenance lately, such as cleaning the hard drive, checking for errors, and running defrag?

I wonder why Baer didn't just post some still-images. It seems he converted the video to that file format from a 30-minute film clip made by American Choice Frames. Their work is beautiful, isn't it?
