Damned Quicktime files...

Opposed to those too, eh?

At least Media Player Classic can play them (with proper codecs installed, such as from K-lite Codec Pack)), so no need to install some stupid program from Apple...

Addendum: I ran a good tape through the machine for a few seconds and it cleared it up, so I have a nice copy of it. I'm sorry I don't have any of that newfangled equipment for copying tapes to a movie file.

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

Easiest way is to just have a TV-in card in your computer. Some video cards have them built in, or you get a separate card. No tapes necessary.

Nah, they have no choice but to be saved, due to Firefox being set to never play them in the browser. It's more about the overall poor quality of the format and annoyance with Apple trying to ram it down our throats at every chance they get for years... Good thing the encrypted codec format was cracked...

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 · #7 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.
