Concours 14, based on the ZX-14.

You probably saw the ZX-14 Ninja, or maybe the hard bags were removed?

I wasn't even aware of the new "Concours" until popping into this
thread... looks like a possible replacement for when the ZX-11 goes
out...

It was a ZX-14... I just assumed it was the new one. My bad.

I do have Quicktime installed, and all other graphics look fine.

I forget - what file format was it ? WMV ? Mov ? MPG ?

You're not only having bad color rendition, but missing entire
blocks of ( video ) data. Do you have this problem with other files
of the same file type, viewing them through IE also ?

If so, try changing your file association, or re-installing
the video program, with correct patches for your OS, etc.

Your' using Quicktime to view it ? Try using Windows Media
Viewer ( if the file type is compatable ).

Yesterday, I was out for my usual ocean swim. I've got my head down,
plowing along, looking at all the little (& big) fishies. It's a
nature reserve, so you can't take anything, much less use a net on the
fish. It's a beautiful area, with big black sea bass, barracuda, a few
sharks, cool stuff. So, anyway, I'm just plowing forward, enjoying all
this beauty, when I hear this sound. It wasn't a WHOOSH, more like a
WAAAOOOOORRRR. I look up, and there, maybe 20' above my head, is this
freakin' airplane, buzzing me.

Now, I can't be sure, but I think it was powered by a GTR1400 engine.
