Re: [microsound] video glitch

[Phil Thomson <philthom@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've had good results playing DRM-encoded Windows Media Files with Mplayer 
or similar, which only supports non-DRM-encoded Windows Media files. The 
result is beautiful, both sonically and visually. Before accidentally 
deleting my hard drive, I was going to make a project using a DRM-encoded 
porn video I downloaded from some p2p network, as it looked and sounded 
when played with mplayer (or is it VideoLan? one of those open-source 
media players).

There may be some mention of glitching up video on the Yahoo databenders 
group. I know somebody a while ago was going to write a perl app that 
would convert an arbitrary data file into video. I think this has been 
abandoned, but I recall there is some uncommented perl code in the 
archives that could be hacked by someone else willing to make the effort.
