Downloading

The video is a 600 MB MPEG1 file, playable on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

There is also an automatic installer / IMC video player available. If you are using Windows or Mac OS 9, this will automatically detect whether you have the proper video player components on your system, and start up an installer if necessary. It will also present the video in a nifty Indymedia interface, and if you burn the software and video to a CD-ROM, you can give a copy to friends, and still be sure that the video will play properly. To make a CD-ROM, do this:

  1. To download the video, right-click (Windows, Linux) or click-and-hold (Mac) on this link, and select "Save link as..." It will take 2-6 hours to download, even on a broadband connection; you'll end up with a file called "video.mov" on your computer.
  2. Download the video player software. You will have to unzip it using Winzip (Windows) or Stuffit Expander (Mac).
  3. When you have unzipped the video player software, there should be a whole bunch of files in a folder called "ftaa". Put the video file, "video.mov" in this folder.
  4. Take all of the files inside the "ftaa" folder and burn them to a CD. You don't need to include the folder "ftaa" itself, just put all of the stuff inside it on the CD.

If you want to make your own customized Indymedia Video CDs using the software, detailed instructions for the use of the software are here.
