You mention that you only *need* the first two minutes, but would you
accept the complete speech?  Or is it essential that someone edit out
everything after the first two minutes?

I'm happy to edit the mpeg or avi file down to the section I need -
just that if the file is huge you may only wish to send the smaller
portion I need.  What help can you give.  Thanks.  I'm in Australia
with a broadband 1.5 connection so downloading isn't a problem. 
Thanks

Hi nomadfromoz-ga,

I downloaded the State of the Union stream file from the White House
website and edited the contents so that the file only has the first 2
minutes.  Below you can find the links to download them in either AVI
or MPEG format.  To download each file, right-click on its link below
and select "Save Target As" or "Save Link As" in your browser:

MPEG file (12.5 MB): http://www.illegalcombatant.com/SOU2005.mpg
AVI file (62.4 MB): http://www.illegalcombatant.com/SOU2005.avi

I hope this satisfies your needs.  If you were unable to use these
files, please let me know which format you prefer before rating this
answer so that I can edit them for you.
