Big, big thanks goes out to SVNPENN! After numerous program installs, nothing recognized the video, alot of time spent on this.

It literally took me 15mins to get this to work....it's basically spelled out for you here. Thank you once again!

Oh, & once i played the video on nbcolympics.com; video showed up in my youtube acct history, but will not play in youtube (says video "is not available in my country?!"); but there is a standard youtube address so maybe this can help others who know how to sniff it out from there. good luck.
