[MacDV] QT software?

[Wilhelm Wanders]

Lanny,

as one before me said, try it with VLC ... it plays almost anything  
out there.

You are missing a codec that can decode the picture or audio that the  
file you downloaded needs. Go ahead and download 3ivx (3ivx.com i  
believe) and give it a try. It is a Divx/Xvid equivalent and runs  
very fast and smooth. It is free of course too :) It is not an  
application, but a codec and will be installed, so that other apps  
(like quicktime) can use it. Later, if you don't like it or it is not  
working, you can just trash it as easily if you want to  - i found  
out though, that this is one piece of software i do not want to miss!

Hope it works,

William
