From: "David Blair" 

Thanks, John. It seems to work on every other video coming in except for
this one I have.

I am trying to figure out why this one is a foil, so that if others come
in, they also don't work. I have a LONG HOSTS file- and it works on the
others in the list. I'm not sure this is the issue (but I'll review just in
case.) I don't think it is because on all the others I have, this isn't the
problem (and most others use the same basic technique.)

I have, however, saved the reference in my "tips and techniques"
Favorites folder
