Alright, here is the story:<br>
<br>
I encoded videos from our Mexico trip with QT 7.2 on my iMac G5 (OSX<br>
10.4.10). The video was captured and cut in iMovieHD and then<br>
exported there with expert option to h.264, 320*240, 12fps, 32K audio.<br>
<br>
I can play the resulting video just fine on my Mac and also on<br>
several of my PC's with anywhere from Windows 2000 to Windows XP SP2.<br>
All with various QT versions (no older than 7 though).<br>
<br>
However, my parents in Germany, which just bought an iMac (Intel) a<br>
year ago cannot play the videos. They upgraded their OS to 10.4.11<br>
and installed QT 7.4 and still were not able to play it. In the<br>
browser (I had embedded it in a website) they couldn't see it - just<br>
the famous "?" .... in Safari and Firefox).<br>
I had specifically chosen h.264 to encode, since I thought it was a<br>
substantial codec and any QT should be able to play it .....<br>
especially on a Mac.<br>
<br>
Well, eventually I told them to install the 3ivx codec (because I<br>
thought it might help in decoding) and voila, now they can see it.<br>
<br>
Still, I found it odd that they had problems viewing it .... maybe<br>
one of you can help? I uploaded one of the videos here:<br>

<br>
Thank you for reading ....<br>

PS. I did also encode videos straight from QT with the above<br>
mentioned settings (and yes, I can view them on four different<br>
computers here at home)<br></blockquote></div><br>-- <br>Gordon B. Alley<br><a href="http://www.gordonalley.com">http://www.gordonalley.com</a>
