Thread: Quicktime trouble

It seems I have no problem adding video elements in other formats, but for some reason Quicktime has never worked on my site. You can go here http://www.holeinthegroundpro.com/AEL.html and click on "watch the film's trailer" (in the second box down). It opens a popup that should have the quicktime player on it. It just has a ? over the player. At first I thought maybe the file size was too big. I kept making it smaller and smaller with no change.

Quicktime is an Mac application... for it to work in IE you must install the Quicktime Active X control and the actual Quicktime player... Quicktime is a known Microsoft OS bug, you should get a Movie Maker program that lets you convert Quicktime into mpeg for better use

i have changed all my quicktime movies to swf. 2 reasons:
1.BV very easy to load and play a swf clip any size will play on demand
2.the conversion from quicktime to a swf using a good convertor will reduce the quality difference when playing. if you would like i can convert one for you and play it. you will be hard pressed to see the difference.

whats a swf clip?

to the previous poster... i have Quicktime on my pc, i'm not sure how you i'm supposed to install the Active X i guess. I'd imagine Blue Voda would not have the Quicktime function if it didn't work.

swf is a flash file, your videos will play far quicker, usualy at once with no delay. Take up magoo's offer of help and you'll see.
