The MIT video play just fine on my Mac here on Campus in the  
Lafayette cubicle farm.

You might want to try the RealPlayer for Linux

	http://www.real.com/linux/

The MIT video is delivered using the RealVideo 8 codec (compressor/ 
decompressor). This is a proprietary codec, and may not be recognized  
by HelixPlayer. See

	https://player.helixcommunity.org/2005/help/helixrealfaq.html

If you want to double-check if your problems are local or global, try  
viewing this UVM video
