Yes, all correct. <g>
The "new format" in v1.69 has...
1) cured the problems at some sites
2) had no effect at some other sites
3) caused problems at some sites to be worse than before
4) caused new problems that did not exist before
So, I'll stick with my previous statement... @#$! cookies! <vbg>
BTW, on your subject line..... "2001 - Year of the Hacker Attacks"
I "hacked" http://www.britneyspears.com/ and was able to D/L one the
video clips using Arachne.
http://www.britneyspears.com/gallery/movies/ForumLive/ForumLive_56K.mov
is an 8.7meg .mov file. (45min to D/L on this 33.6 modem)
QV v2.42 says... "unsupported format"
Quicktime v4.2 for W9x is required to play it.
So, I fired-up W95 and installed QT v4.2 (over 4megs of CRAP)
This is one of the worst examples of BLOAT that I have ever seen.
The file plays for only 39sec
That's right.
The newest, greatest version of .mov requires 8.7megs for only 39sec
of video/audio.
