 +
*** DUH. That's what I've been saying all along. If you check out [[Biz Cas Fri 3#Easter Eggs|the easter egg]], you'll see what I'm talking about. It ''is'' a self-executable video. It executes in Medi-a-Lectrix Playa.
 +
**** There may be a miscommunication here. The original fact is worded in such a way that the .exe contains the Medi-a-lectrix Playa and the video separately, which are saved when you run the file or something. My comment is that the file could BE the video, which plays in its own "Medi-a-lectrix"-style window, and does not require a separate application to run. Or there are other possibilities as well. Maybe it's a self-extracting .exe for a really huge file. Maybe Homestar changed the file type because his email service rejected the .mlp (making something up) format. Who knows? It's speculation.

[edit] 3 Gigabyte STUFF Attachment

It's likely that the 3GB attachment was the "Medi-a-lecrix Playa" and the video file, as most movies do not come in a .exe file, and a file of that length would have to be ridiculously lossless to warrant a 3GB file size.
