Fyi .. the Parsec media file is in .ogv format
http://file.org/extension/ogv

A free and common Windows based player for this (just tried the
file on Win10 and works fine) is VLC Media Player.
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/index.html 
"VLC is a free and open source cross-platform multimedia player
and framework that plays most multimedia files as well as DVDs,
Audio CDs, VCDs, and various streaming protocols."

Challenge - since this VLC player is open source, and runs on
many platforms, perhaps someone could take a stab at getting it
running on OpenVMS?
