Howdy,

I don't remember seeing this posted here, so apollyloggies if it's a
re-run, but here's a PBS site in Washington state that has some fun
flytying videos: http://www.kwsu.org/Offers/OMNFlyTying.aspx

You'll need to download the Open Media Network client/player to view
them, but that's simple enough to do.

Enjoy!

Do you know much about this "OMN" stuff, beyond the basics (PBS
partnership, supposedly an improvement to "plain" .wmv, etc.)? IOW, any
guesses as to why they didn't just use a more-standard format without
the add-on?

TC,

I'll hazard a guess: for a media standard to be "open" it can't depend on
anything with an attached patent, trademark or copywrite. So the media has to
be different, which in turn requires a player that recognizes that unique
standard media...
