For some reason I've not been able to watch some of the Quick-time videos from Caswell website. Some work but some don't. I've tried with 3 different PCs, 2 with Windows-XP and 1 with 98 operating systems, with same results. They download okay and I get Audio (I got a lot of Info from audio only) but not video. I'm sure that one of the XP computers has the latest version of Quick-time installed, so it's not that causing the problem. :confused:
I would suggest converting them to .mp3 type graphics files, which are better than .mov files (file size, download speed, etc.).
I'm certainly not going to buy an Apple to watch the Videos. :D LOL :D
Any help would be appreciated, since 'A picture is worth a Thousand words'. :D

Thanks, Mike
That version(7.5), did work with your .mov files.
I've got all that good Info now. ;)
I guess Apple can't make their software backward compatible and still Improve it ???

Glad you've got this working now. As an explanation to why we use Quicktime for our movies - it's 100% platform independent, unlike WMV, AVI or other Windows movie formats. With the right software, anyone on any computer can view a Quicktime movie.
