I downloaded, and it works fine in VLC for me. I remuxed using subler and got something that was decent, but not great.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It plays fine in VLC for me too. Something's breaking in the transcoding when it's being streamed through PS3 Media Server, using UPnP to my Samsung TV. It streams the first one just fine, but not the second. I've never had any problem playing any of them on either of my computers.
I'll see if a remuxed version streams successfully, though. Thanks.
eta: It does stream everything else in this folder, which makes it the most successful server so far. But this is on my Mac. I hope it's as good when I move it to Windows or Linux (crosses fingers).

So! I need to rent a dedicated server. Recommendations? Cautionary tales?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Are you finally taking over fandom?

I, for one, welcome our new fannish overperson.

Sadly it is for purposes unrelated to fandom. Or webhosting.
I need a box where I can set up a bunch of VMs to test software using different IP addresses.

I'd avoid iStrata at this point.

Yeah, me too. I think you want more management than this. They just toss a server into your virtual lap and walk away. But I've never had a dedicated server at anything smaller than a corporate level anywhere else, so I have no recommendations.
Anyone here running Office XP?

I'm running office XP. Also I'm told Amazon offers dedicated and virtual servers at the corporate level and high end indvidual level. They may be exceptionally evil even by corporate standards and I have no idea of how good the service offered is. But happened to be talking to the guy who does their custom servers today. (His wife is being nice enough to make a free video for me.) So I know the service exists.

I've been trying Amazon EC2, but I'm having difficulty understanding their management console, and I couldn't figure out how to connect to an instance successfully once I'd launched it.
