I get a black screen using WMP...
And other players say I miss a codec. Does anyone have an idea what codec this would be?

Using http://www.headbands.com/gspot/
on one of their .avi files suggests that you need the TSCC codec from TechSmith (who make SnagIt and Camtasia)

Is it audio only? Audio atleast works for me in WMP.

Edit:Its avi so I guess it's video also.

You have to get the codec robphy posted to get the video. You can watch the notes being written down, there's no camera or something.

These were re-uploaded or corrected or some such to be working, at least they are working for me using a mac and Perian through Quicktime (they didn't use to). I love these lectures :) Maloney is pretty good at what he does, and he's pretty funny/goofy. Also! he has a set of lectures of mechanics at the Goldstein level which is amazing. They may or may not get into Hamilton-Jacobi theory but they definitely cover the main stuff up until then.
