I think I figured out how to get the vids. up!! I can convert the files and then need to zip, cuz they're really large files. You're gonna have to download to unzip so you can view. You may even have to save it in order to unzip it.
Here is Hugh #2 and #3.

Hugh #1 is half a gig, even when zipped - gonna try to figure out how to get it in a smaller file size so I can upload it.
Please let me know how it works out with you guys getting these files.
Daisy,
1 - I downloaded both of the Hugh Wiggins files from your share site. The #2 files is (30 meg zip file) and the #3 is a (42 meg zip file)
2 - I created two new folders in my Windows Explorer on my "C" drive naming them "Wiggins2" and "Wiggins3."
3 - I unzipped each of the #2 and #3 zip files into each of the new corresponding folders. When unzipped, there was one only file that upzipped per folder, those files had the windows media file extension, which means they should be video files.
4 - I clicked on the first file in my new folder "Wiggins2" (your file #2). The Interview "VIDEO" opened in my Windows Media Player and I could see and hear Hugh Wiggins and his attorney talking to two LE officials. The video display shows that it should be a 20 minute video but it played for 1 only minute then shut off. It appears to be only a 1 minute segment of the video even though it shows on the video screen that it's suppose to be 20 minutes.
5 - I clicked on the other file in my new folder "Wiggins3" (your file #3). The same thing happened, the interview "VIDEO" opened in my Windows Media Player and again I could see and hear Hugh Wiggins talking to the two LE officials. The date and time on the video shows that it should be a 22 minute video but it played for 2 only minutes then shut off. It appears to be only a 2 minute segment of the video even though it shows on the video screen that it's suppose to be 22 minutes.
6 - Is it possible that other files within each of these is needed? Or are their 20 or more files for the Hugh Wiggins interview?
7 - I'm using Windows Media Player 11.
8 - Does this mean if each of your uploaded files for the Hugh Wiggins interview are in reality only 1 or 2 minutes long, that for say a full 20 minute video, that you would have to upload 20 files to cover that whole 20 minutes?
=======================
edited to add:
For what it's worth, I have a software program here on my system called "AVS Video Converter" (It's not a freebie, it cost $29.95 back in 2005 when I got it, not sure what it costs today). The AVS Video Converter program allowed me to input both of your files #2 and #3 (that I downloaded and unzipped from your share site) and converted them to 1 (one) .AVI file back to back.
The conversion actually was fairly quick just for the two files plus your original 2 files were a total of 75 meg in file size and after I converted them both to the .AVI files, the size was only 30 meg for both as one file, and there was no loss in the video quality output from your files to the converted .avi file. So in that sense the file size is being cut in half by converting them from the Windows Media Player output to the .AVI output.
I'm not sure at this point if you're willing to upload all the Huge Wiggins interview individual file segments to your file share site for me to download so that I can then convert them and attach them togethere into relatively smaller segments and then upload those .avi files back to a file share site or even to YouTube.
If you're willing to upload all of them, I'm willing to convert them. Out of all the interviews, Hugh Wiggins one is the one I want to watch or hear and I have a feeling others following this case would be just as interested.
