Phon can't see VLC

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Marta,

       If you downloaded  the sample video folder from the childes.psy.cmu.edu server instead of the phon.ling.mun.ca server,
it appears that the version on the CHILDES server was out of date.  I have now fixed that.   If you downloaded from the MUN server,
then something else must be going on.  By the way, I tried using VLC 1.1.10 and it worked fine for me, but I am on OS X 10.6.7.
I see that Yvan suggests trying an earlier version of VLC and maybe that could work for you, but make sure you aren't using the bad version of the demo file.
