Windows; I ~think~ it's a windows media video 9 system, at least that's what it's reporting the codec as far as I can tell; it's coming from Yahoo movies.

No. I'm still trying to figure out how to get a Win XP machine to recognize an IPOD after loading Win Serv 2. Microsoft says "edit the registry," but I don't have the disc with the backup utility and I'm a coward. I don't want to touch the registry without a backup.
