Bill Gibson's hippie CBC moment

Vintage CBC clip of a young, shaggy-haired William Gibson giving Canada’s newscameras a tour of Toronto’s hippie Nirvana, Yorkville village, in 1967. The clip is encoded with Windows Media Player, because (some of) the CBC’s web people have profound brain-damage. This means that I can’t watch it. Someone tell me if it’s any good. Someone convert it to an MPEG and post it?
