Trvor, I just had a look at yahoo' launch site. It is not using asx streams,
but a clever javascript program which then launches WMP and selects all
movies and songs using javascript, hence there is no way you can save these
movies. The javascript that yahoo has is also the reason ehy it will not
work with your linux browsers :(
Maybe someone cleverer than me will prove me wrong. Why not email yahoo,
after all after many requests from linux and unix users they wrote a
version of yahoo messenger.
