mp4 format here http://www.kickasstorrents.com/mit-ocw-godel-escher-bach-bun...

Not 100% sure if that torrent is legit, but I've had the mp4 files on my harddisk for a few months now. I also can't imagine why anyone would go through the trouble to fake this particular torrent so enjoy !

Alternatively, use this script to get the real .rm files:

  PRE="mplayer -playlist http://mfile.akamai.com/7870/rm/mitstorage.download.akamai.com/7870/hs/godel_escher_bach
  POST=" -dumpstream -dumpfile "
  $PRE/OCW_7.01.07_Godel-220k.rm $POST OCW_7.01.07_Godel-220k.rm &
  $PRE/OCW_7.08.07_Godel-220k.rm $POST OCW_7.08.07_Godel-220k.rm &
  $PRE/OCW_7.15.07_Godel-220k.rm $POST OCW_7.15.07_Godel-220k.rm &
  $PRE/OCW_7.22.07_Godel-220k.rm $POST OCW_7.22.07_Godel-220k.rm &
  $PRE/OCW_7.29.07_Godel-220k.rm $POST OCW_7.29.07_Godel-220k.rm &

Any way this could be done using vlc? I am trying to watch it on vlc but cannot forward it.

just in case somebody is wondering: "These are transcoded files from the RealVideo on the MIT site"
