Try this soft , it is the one i use for a player its called vlc player , the codec library is really extensive, it plays anything i put into it , free of charge , i installed it and never looked back.

It looks  like  it is a very good player .
It  is probably  to big  for me to download
It has failed twice  already

Hi Gary , sorry to ear that , back in the dial up days i used a dial up download manager to help with that , i found a really small one that should work , i did not test it.

Edit you may also try other source of download like on download .com

Now I have a circuit in mind that does involve capacitors and diodes in series with the negative cap ends together and cathodes of the diodes pointing toward each other.  The diode anodes would experience an AC signal.  Two Zeners are in parallel with the anodes at positive sides of the caps and when the voltage reaches threshold of the Zeners, the cathodes dump the cap's voltage to the positive terminal of a battery.

the threshole of zener diode is not their rated voltage.
the zener voltage is the voltage at whitch a zener will fully conduct.
unless it is an avalanche type that is.

a diode bridge with a cap at its output is known to do what you seem to be looking for.

I spent several  hours trying to  get this thing to  download videos

I am giving up for now .

Thanks for  all the suggestions .   
I am planning on  trying that player  when I can

I made another non   toroid JT  today
It is just  a coil  of  cat5 cable ......I am guessing  about 150 ft
I  am using  one pair as  primary
I have all the  other pairs in series  as a secondary
With  my Jesus charger  and  3055  I am getting  68 V with no load.
My LMs  take  well over 100 V  to light  the array this bright

It seems to me that another  coil of cable or 2 placed  near  this one would act as   secondarys .

Your job is excellent!!!

We need now a schematic of the whole project.
Could you do that for us?

I will post this photo at the feedback to the source thread giving you credit.
