HI
I'm a fairly new member to Renlist, and a new owner to Porsche (2003 996 tt x50--just negotiated to buy it). How do we find out about this event when it rolls around next year? My wife and I love Niagra on the lake, and would love to attend if its in the same area next year.
BTW--great photo's--great cars. Really cool to see some of the older models in such great shape. Looked like great fun.

I was getting the same thing with Eshel's videos. But I found a fix. I had to downgrade my version of Quicktime to 7.6.0 or older.
It seems on both my Win 7 PC (v7.6) and on my Win XP Pro PC (v7.5.5), if I'm running the latest and greatest Quicktime version (7.6.4), his videos will only play audio.
Try downgrading your version of Quicktime.
Quicktime for Windows
Quicktime for MAC
Just make sure to uninstall the newer version first using the "Add/Remove Programs" Control Panel app in WinXP or the "Programs and Features" Control Panel app in Win7.

The latest version of Quicktime DID work on my system except for the streaming video you posted. I'd bet if I were able to download it, it would work as a non streaming file. Quicktime 7.6.4 worked fine with all M4V, MP4 and MOV files downloaded to my PC, plus the streaming video from Apple (I'm a Mac ads and the Movie trailers site).

If I were to "guess", I'd say it's a combination of codecs and media players that are installed on the system. Plus there's always the MAC vs. PC issues too, and we would need to take into account from where the file originated and how it was created.

Mac vs Some PC's not all had issues, if it was universal then that statement would be correct.
The file was created in iMovie, same as all the rest.

If you are watching a Quicktime video with a quicktime player and codec, why would other media players/codecs come into play or affect the playability of those files?

I'll put money that the PC's that were able to play your video had older versions. Not everyone upgrades to the latest versions. And in fact, most don't unless they are told to do so. If someone has a version of Quicktime older than 7.2, a message pops up on your video that says you will need v7.2 or better to play it. If you got that message and upgraded to 7.6.4 and the video still didn't work, what conclusion would you draw?
When you create a video, you specify how you want to create it. From what audio/video codecs to use, to what sampling filters to use and other such configurable settings. What may work on your MAC, may not work on another if they are missing any such components.
Now that being said, why v7.6.4 won't work with your videos is a mystery to me. I would have thought that the newer version should have no issues with playing videos that were created with applications that preceded it.

I finally get to watch these after being away for a while with only a blackberry! It's playing fine on my box, WinXP, quicktime 7.5. Thanks Geoff and Eshel for putting them together!
