+redirect pentadactyl (firefox) videos to vlc
+============================================
+
+Some streaming videos come packaged in miserable .swf containers that ruin the movie experience. This bash script uses `tcpdump` to listen for the real video stream connection made, and then reopens the stream in VLC.
+
+It's extra cool with [pentadactyl](http://5digits.org/pentadactyl/) or any other plugin that allows you to bind code to browser events. Add a URL listener for websites that you'd prefer to serve video through VLC, starting this script and closing or muting the original tab.
+
+Root privileges are needed to listen to to the network.
