1210604 2011-06-19 23:35:00 The freeware aTube Catcher is good for acquiring YouTube videos via their urls, but recently I tried the screen capture button, which makes a wmv video file of an adjustable window. You can't edit the wmv parameters or capture in a different format, but my Bravia played the wmv without any problem. (I don't think it's advertised as supporting wmv.)

This gave me the idea of capturing a week's worth of RNZ Concert programme listings and bringing the listing up on the TV while listening to the radio. This is quick and effective. Here's a camera shot of the TV screen:

TV = EX700
Computer screen = 1680 x 1050
IE8 fonts = Large + 150%
OS = Win7pro64 (Bravia only connects to DLNA server, ie Win7)
Bravia mode = browse network folder shares
(The wmv file won't play on WD TV Live HD media player)
