VLC is the default player for them in Windows (and in Pegasus ;->) hello Tim) 
and with the Mozilla plug-in installed (embeded) AVI's play direct in my 
browser (K-Meleon) and if double clicked play full screen, but RPM's just 
wont play, there is Always that "Get Plug-in" message (the blue jigsaw piece)
testing locally if I change the filename to *.RM and change the HTML to point 
to that (very same) file it plays, in file types in windows both *.rm & *.rpm 
files have identical entries 

"D:\VLC\vlc.exe" --started-from-file "%1"

so what is happening, is it in the Mozilla plug-in for VLC ?
