RE: Reposting A Question
Quick time is from Apple. Since it was taken with an Android phone, chances are that Windows Media or Winamp will play it just fine. I'd try that first. -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: Monday, June 30, 2014 4:23 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Reposting A Question I tried that save target thing; no soap!

RE: Reposting A Question
Well this story has a happy ending for me: I did get rid of Quicktime (the video was delivered last night; turns out I wouldn't have needed Quicktime after all of that! It comes up in Winamp, but only plays audio! But VLC definitely will play the video! Now I wish I could find a blind-friendly video editor as the thing was taken in such a manner that in it's original state, it plays sideways! My video tech found a video editor and fixed it! However there are some other videos on this drive that need to be fixed; the video editor he put on is not blind-friendly!
