To a bunch of different users, mostly on windows...

I uploaded a standard MPEG-4 file from QuickTime to my iDisk, posted a link from my blog (see sig)... Why won't it play on their computers if they don't have quicktime? I thought MPEG-4 files were standard files that anyone could play?

Any ideas?

I can play it just fine, and I don't have quicktime... (no quicktime for Linux), ok, well maybe I'm using the W32 quicktime libs with an open source frontend but still!

no sig, how's that for being a rebel!

Give it a .mp4 name and Real Player should play it fine on Windows. I'd expect WMP should too, but I have less experience with it.

Also, IMHO, you ought to consider using a lower bit rate. My old dual 500 G4 stuttered a little bit during playback.

grr... .mp4... I'll try it.
And I'm not too concerned with the playback, as long as the quality is decent... the main thing is that the individual frames come out, not so much the video. It is still a very crude work in progress... not even up to Messiatosh standards!!!
