You need t o export the movie from quicktime into a pc format, the mac uses it's resource forks to identify the file whioch is lost when moving to the pc. I belive quicktime can do this. also a small util called flattenmoov or somthing like does it. and then when it's on the pc you can use quicktime ther eto play it or export it to any format!!! I usually export it for uncompressed avi and then get somethig else to re-encode it. though quicktime on the mac might be able to export to mpeg, though i never tried it this way! kyle. +------------------------------------------------- | Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ICQ: 20955065 | Web: www.thewibblereport.co.uk | -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
