[Coco] Colour Video playback on a CoCo 1 with Ed Snider's new player

[Steve Strowbridge]

Just so we're all clear on what we're looking at here....

Mike Rowen took audio samples from one of my YouTube videos and turned them
into a Song.
I took Mike's song and turned that into a Music Video that I posted to
YouTube
Glen Hewlett took my music video and transcoded that to play on the CoCo
media player
That CoCo video was then broadcast to YouTube.....

Inception?

Mind=blown!

So many members of the community are all a part of this, from the CoCo SDC,
to the media player to MiRo, you name it, it's humbling and entertaining
all at once.
