Robert,  I know you've gotten it to work, but in retrospect did you 
try any other browsers?  With regard to the music videos at 
http://www.thecrystalmethod.com ,  I found that pulling the files 
from the QuicktimeTemp directory failed to play when viewed with 
Safari.  But using Camino, I was able to rename the large cache files 
to .mov and they played just fine in quicktime player - didn't have 
to go through the QuicktimeTemp hoop.  Note, I am using a nightly 
build of Camino, so YMMV if you are using the standard 0.6 release.

Hope this helps someone else...

Peter
