I got the torrent downloaded and all, but when I go to play it, my comp. says it doesn't know what program to use to open/play it...what did you use or suggest? Pretty sure I've got DivX, but it won't play-seems like a VERY interesting bit of film & would love to view it-R.S.V.P.

BTW any nodachi (AKA no-dachi/odachi/o-dachi) forms/techniques on here? Wanting some reference material on proper Japanese great/large sword techniques, any pertinent torrents/info would be great, as this weapon was fairly rare/usually toted by ranking/significant Samurai (very few were actually made, let alone used/practiced)...making research material very difficult to find-would appreciate any assistance greatly!
