Edit: oh, I gathered the disatisfaction with quicktime was the inability to save the movie.

Nah, they have no choice but to be saved, due to Firefox being set to never play them in the browser.

I try to save them but it never lets me. I can copy from my internet directory, but if I try to play them without visiting the website they come from I get sound but no picture.

What browser are you currently using?

Randallw · #3 November 5th, 2004, 03:24 AM

My answer would immediately have you decrying microsoft and telling me to change my browser. However before you start the inevitable villification of IE, I am happy with what I have, and any imagined benefits would not be worth the trouble of me changing my browser for what I see as no reason.

No it wouldn't...

Internet Explorer doesn't give you any control over plugins like Quick Time. You could uninstall the official Quick Time plugin and install Media Player Classic as previously mentioned. This may or may not allow for proper saving of .mov files.

Let me apologise then for making assumptions, I sometimes get the impression people are opposed to IE (and any Microsoft product) on principle. I just realised that of course Quicktime is an apple product, so obviously thats not the issue. I have both Quicktime and Media player incidentally.

Media Player Classic, or Windows Media Player? MPC trumps both hands down in terms of what it can play...

I am, of course, opposed to IE in principle, but that is mostly because it, along with Outlook, is the major cause of the spread of viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, and other malware... Also because it still does not support the web standards for HTML, CSS, and various other Languages. Nothing to do with it being a Microsoft product per se.

Fyron, please stop hyjacking the Posts.

Thank you.
