You can watch Path to 9/11 on ABC's website for free - both nights are available (handy for those who recorded Monday's second half and missed the end due to the President's speech.) And friends and neighbors who missed the broadcast can also pick it up for free.

Quality is suprisingly good with a broadband connection - about the same as a standard DVR.

Not sure if the 'missing minute' is in this version or not. First night episode is 2:39 minutes.

Thanks for posting. I'll give it a shot tonight.

I see the libs attempting a "Denial of Service Attack" on the web site.

[kingu]

Oh, forgot to mention - gotta install their player. An activex control on IE, also as a extension on Firefox.

Thank you for your interest in watching The Path to 9/11. This program is currently available on ABC.com to viewers in the United States.

It appears you are attempting to access this program from a computer located outside of the United States. If you are living within the United States, you will need to access this program from a different computer.

Phooey.

The player is built to handle huge loads - if the liberals attempt a denial of service attack, the player won't notice since it'll just glom on to more servers to send out the movie. Their only target would be the originating server, and ABC is part of Disney and Go; their server farms can probably eat whatever attack is tossed at them.

But I hope they give it a shot none the less. I bet ABC would have a news story on the attack ten minutes after it started.

Thanks for the link, I'll look at it later. Is this a stream-only, or can it be downloaded?

[digger48]

Thanks...couldn't, wouldn't watch ABC TV.

Good quality playback

[cripplecreek]

Looks good to me. I watched it on TV but I'm going to send it out to family and friends.

[Darnright]

Thanks for the link. I had to go to a class I'm taking at the local community college last night. I got a friend to tape the 2nd night, but it's nice to have access to a video feed.

[kingu]

Stream only, but the quality is fine.

Trying to figure out a proxy solution for foreign viewing (something I have to use when visiting the BBC...)

[Jack Black]

When does the DVD come out? Any idea?

[alice_in_bubbaland]

I'm having a problem with Active X, very choppy playback and my mouse won't work properly. Any suggestions?

I want the kids to watch it, they were too interested in football. :0)

In case there was any doubt the Clintonistas ticked off ABC good.

"Just in case you missed this movie Clinton and Harry Reid didn't want you to see the first time, feel free to download it at your leasure online!"

That's AWESOME! LOL


In case there's any doubt, what do you think the probability is they'd ever put, say, Lion King online like this for free?

Any way to actually download the file for later viewing?

[digger48]

I'd guess Im probably not a good one to ask for tech problems.

[Rocko]

Bump.

It doesn't look like it, alas. I tried hooking up my DVR to my laptop, and that worked out fine for recording it (just have to live with the bar on the bottom of the screen.)
