  For the Alan's talk, the audio part does go all the way to then end,
but in the middle of talk, a USB device detection sound occurs, and a
Window explorer covers the screen, and the video part froze there.
The page is:

  It is hard to explain, but if you just access the above page on a
computer, and ignore it 20 minutes and come back, you'll see what is
the problem.  (During the actual talk, the audience didn't see that
problem, so the problem could be at the encoding time and if that was
the case, it would be nice to correct it from the orignal recording.)

 I haven't tried the ogg version.  Sorry.

  Perhaps getting Alan's Etoys image for the talk might be good?

  Thank you!
