Sounds like there might be a version conflict between what was used
to build your standalone and your current Metcard version.
I find that MC 2.3.2 plays certain .avi files better on both Mac and
Windows than the Quicktime equivalents. They are purely visual,
however - no sound, and were converted from FLC files , which may be
the reason.
I am hearing some dubious reports of QT 5, so I am not risking moving
up just yet. Whatever you do, keep your QT 4 safe somewhere. Well, I
have a QT installer that doesn't need the internet - useful if you
want to beat a retreat! Bit of a problem otherwise - is QT 4 still
available from Apple?
