luke

its not the codec or the fact that its an mp4
its the fact that its a QT mp4 and not a win media player mp4

the problem is between QT and windows

i am using win media player format because i am HOPING that they will open
on a mac and pc inside winmedia player without the need to download

does my old dancing sunflower video open on your mac
