You need QT 7 to play mp4 files properly. Also, download the files instead of trying to play them in the browser (this works better for any large video file). Some browsers such as Safari may inadvertently add a ".txt" to a video file - if this happens, delete this unwanted suffix and it will play fine.
Please let me know if you still have problems. When I upgrade my computer in the coming year (I just spent a hundred grand on a car!) I'll convert some of the files to other more PC friendly formats (it's CPU time intensive).

I was having the same problem as M Danger but when I downloaded iTunes it also downloaded Quicktime 7 and the video works fine now. Thanks for the videos and hope you are enjoying your new car. Love the color!

Thanks for the vids Dave. Man, Top Gear wasn't too complimentary. Interesting review and probably an honest one. Good car but could have been great if they let caged up the marketing guys and cut the designers loose a little more.
