HTV is succesfully launched !

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/8249357.stm

The freighter left Earth atop an H-IIB rocket at 0201 local time on
Friday (1701 GMT, Thursday).

Docking not expected for at least 8 days. It is carrying 4.5 tonnes of
cargo. It has capacity for 6 tonnes.

Japan hopes to launch 1 HTV per year.

HTV will remain berthed for about 6 weeks.

Is there some video/audio of the launch somewhere?

Well, U Tube is a pain to me, with its flash and sundry non standard
controls and javascript links. I could not find a play launch video link on
the other page either. Surely its not a secret video with no easy way to
play it. I do not need the pictures, the sounds is all I need.!

Well I spent half an hour trying to get one of the many links I was sent,
to play, and eventually gave up. Seems people must have used non standard
controls for the players, like flash or something, which is a real pain if
not tested for blind access. I guess these folk feel why would 'the blind'
want to run a video.

Which Operating System do you have ?

youtube use flash, but it is possible to download the video directly with
the url link

Sometime, i use "apowersoft youtube downloader "in trial version,
you put the url and it download the video in "flv" format,
many other youtube donwloader are avalaible like "getflash", etc...
after download you can replay localy on pc.

i user vlc media player or real player, flv format is not runing
under microsoft player
