In my case they come out as a grey box that says "click" in the
middle. If I click it says I need some plugin but the file doesn't
specify which one. I think they're RealPlayer, which would explain
it; I don't allow that on my system.

They are .avi files. Depending on your operating system, you may be
able to right click and then "save as" then open with your favorite
movie viewer.

They're embedded in the page with the non-standard "embed" tag, so
no chance of right-clicking. Of course I can download the file after
reading the URL for it in the HTML code, though. Windows Media Player
attempts to play the RWY 25 low pass, but immediately gets an "unknown
error" (I really hate the terrible job Microsoft does on most of its
software). Quicktime says it can't open the file because there is an
error in the program.

I'm with you, I HATE realplayer AND quicktime for that matter, they both
try real hard to take over your system. Anyone know of a third party
player that plays MOV and RM files?

Haven't looked; video isn't very important to me.
