All of these video clips are from ISN web-page (which was shut down) unless otherwise noted. Those are 160x120 or 128x96 @ 15 fps MOV's compressed with Cinepak codec. So, they could be bigger and better quality.
The rest have been captured by me. Almost all of them are 352 x 288 @ 24 fps MPEG's with (originally) 44khz 16bit stereo sounds. They are much more good-looking and sounding. I have also included snapshots of the video clips - to see the quality and size - which can be accessed via clicking MPEG under the clip in question.
If you have ideas about excellent scenes you'd like to see captured or thought which ISN movies should be included, drop me a note and we'll see.

Londo, "Do I have to go find him myself?" Vir, "No.. No, I'll go. I'll go and I'll bring him back. And someday, I'll remind you of this conversation, and maybe then, then you understand."

Vir, " I'd like to live just long enough to be there when they cut off your head and stick it on a pike as a warning to the next ten generations that some favors come with too high of a price. I want to look up at your lifeless eyes and wave like this" (waves in Morden's face). "Can you and your associates arrange that for me Mr. Morden?"

The White Star Taking On a Shadow Ship (MOV, 16.4MB, 1 min 24s)
Reasons: Very interesting theme for the entire episode, Sheridan et al resisting the Shadows openly for the first time. Watch Delenn's emotions on her face, especially when going into Jupiter. Background music is also stunning (get parts of it from here).
Delenn, "This is what I was afraid of - the merging was not handled properly. The ship is out of control,
insane. It will destroy anything in it's path."
|
We Couldn't Take Much More (MPEG, 4.9MB, 29s)
Reasons: A very dramatic scene, Clark's reinforcements arriving unexpected. Note Corwin's voice, and Sheridan's very distressed feelings; All his dreams, torn asunder.

Sheridan, "You angry now? Angry enough to kill me? Because that's the only way I'm leaving.
Unless your people get off their encountersuited butts and do something, I've got
nothing to lose. Hell, my own government wants to kill me. And if we lose this war
I'm just as dead. Our only chance is to get the other races on board for this fight.
And right now you're the key to doing that."
|
We Are Under Attack (MPEG, 7.8MB, 47s)
Reasons: A very intense scene with terrific music; Always-so-calm Ivanova cracking under pressure. Ivanova, "Can anyone help us? This is Commander Susan Ivanova of Babylon 5. To any ships in grid Epsilon. We are under attack. I repeat, we are under attack. The captain is dead, defense grid is down, they are boarding us, they are coming in all over the place. We've tried to evacuate as many as we can, and Garibaldi has rigged the fusion reactor, but.. my God, here they come. Switch to external cameras. They've got weapons lock. Here comes. Here comes!"
|
Legacy of Your War (MPEG, 5.3MB, 31s)

Londo, "There is the legacy of your war. The price we paid, when you abandoned us to the enemies you escaped from."
|
To Stay Alive (MPEG, 11.0MB, 1min 6s)
Reasons: Nice music, emotional scene. The destiny of Centauri Prime pops up again.
Sheridan, "Delenn, by the time you get this message I will be
at Z'ha'dum, with Anna. I can pretty much guess your reaction when you hear
this, but I think this is the only way. When you and I were in the time rift
with Babylon 4, for a moment, I jumped forward in time. We'd won the war but
Centauri Prime had been devastated. You said this future could not be changed.
You also told me:"
|

Londo vs Morden, Part 1 (MOV, 13.1MB, 1min 36s)
Londo vs Morden, Part 2 (MOV, 16.3MB, 2min 1s) Note: the videos aren't as good quality as these images Reasons: Londo deals with Morden at last. The look on Morden's face on several occasions: the mention of planetkillers, the death of the Shadows, triggering the bombs, taking him out to a cell. Also, Morden's threat/promise to Londo.. was this what we saw in War Without End?
Londo, "A-a-a-a-h, Mr. Morden. I see they found you. Good, good. You're looking well. All healed now, I take it?"
Morden, "You're insane."
|
Trust Me, This Is Gonna Be Great (MOV, 11.8MB, 1min 27s)
Reasons: A good example of a new kind of humour we have been seeing since Epiphanies.
Sheridan, (keeps laughing for no apparent reason)
