Re: 2009 Championship Webcast

I'm watching on a Macbook as well. When I clicked the link to the Curie field, it opened up in safari with a cheeze-it size screen. It was live, though. In order to make sure it works properly, you probably will need flip4mac since it's a Windows Media Stream. If you don't have that plugin yet, you can get it at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/win...omponents.mspx.

The way I bypassed my browser was by right clicking on "windows media stream" and copying the link. Then, I opened up VLC media player (also free download http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html), went to open network, then pasted the link into the media resource locator (MRL). It opens right up in a window where you can change the window size and what not.

There may be easier ways of doing this, but this was the best I could figure. Now I just need a way to watch this on my iPhone!
