Are you trying to stream the video?  If so, are you running OS X Server 
on the system where the video resides?  That is required for the video 
to stream.  If you want to just download the video and then play it, 
that is possible.  I have not tried this on 2.4.1 yet.  But I used to do 
it all the time on 2.3.2 and it worked well.
