LOL. Maybe they were offline for a reason. Like not to upset the vendor.

For reference: they said to unfascistize it, just look in /com/ipexpert/data.dat/. Thanks all. On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 9:03 AM, David Betz <[email protected]> wrote: Thank you.

The videos are all hidden in the /com/ipexpert/data.dat/ folder. From there, you rename the extension from .IPX to .MP4. That's all they are. No DRM. Just video files with a different extension. I've converted them and run them natively with VLC on a variety of widgets. The only pain was manually playing each file to figure out what it really was. Took me about 30 minutes to go thru the files. Enjoy and good luck. --Hammer "I was a normal American nerd." -Jack Herer From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Betz Sent: Monday, November 22, 2010 8:49 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] VoD on Portable Devices What success have people had in using the VoD on their portable devices? Personally, I live off my iPad (v4.2) and have for months. I do my labs from my iPad at a cafe all day long: Android tethering + LogMeIn + BT Keyboard (=never need a power outlet in a cafe again, no more extensive setup, and it all fits in my technology jacket-- thank you http://www.scottevest.com/), with "reference-type" CCIE-level Cisco Press books (thank you $10 book of the day) in my PDF reader and my "textbook-type" books (i.e. Doyle) on my latest generation Kindle. So, I want the VoD on my iPad, piece by piece as I need them, because I'm sure the VoD is huge. Unless it's DRM, I can't imagine why it couldn't be copied. I heard that you are facistly forced into using a flash interface and that the VoD videos are scattered all over the drive, but, again, without DRM, I don't see how a script couldn't fix that. I've no problem inventing in the full non-electronic BSL (as I hear the electronic one has DRM on it-- though my iPad reads supports most DRM formats), but unless I can use actually use the stuff, there's no point.
