You should be able to Insert/Media Element/QuickTIme 3 to get a blank
QuickTime cast member. Once you've done that, go into its info
dialog, and options, until you see the Browse button. Click on that,
and point at the file, which should be named with .MID as an
extension (actually, it doesn't matter on a Mac, but it may on a PC).
When you select that you should get a question asking you what to
name the converted file. Name it with a .mov extension.
For example, you Browse to the file named "my great composition.mid",
and name it something like "what a fab piece.mov". It doesn't matter
much, so long as the .mov part is there. You should by now have a
QuickTime cast member version of your MIDI file.
There may be a problem with your file. If you like, feel free to send
a copy to me to try (not to the list).
