Hi, If it's a large file, it may be a memory low thing. How much RAM do you have on your machine?

Re: Reposting A Question
Hi Tom, you are having a similar problem I had while trying to play a movie. the movie had an AVI extension, so I thought winamp would play it, no soap. it would come up in winamp but wouldn't play. I had to make windows media player the default player to play the avi file. the problem is with quicktime, I don't know of a way to change file type associations. if you can find out how to change the file types in quicktime, you could disable the association. - Original Message - From: Tom Kaufman tomca...@comcast.net To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2014 11:21 PM Subject: RE: Reposting A Question Gary: I think I got to the right page you are telling me to go; problem is that Winamp (that's what II want as my default player) isn't there!

Hi Gary: And therein lies the problem (I cannot find anything in Quicktime that deals with file associations (maybe it's there and my screen reader (Jaws 15) won't pick it up; maybe Quicktime doesn't allow such a thing (it wants to do it all) hopefully this is not the case, for that means (once I get the video I'm supposed to get) if it really is true that it will only play in Quicktime, then I have to only download Quicktime when I want to watch the video; then remove it from my system as I cannot have a situation where some program won't let me download things!

Yes and the other problem is that this is going to be something I would like to share with my friends; it would seem that the only way to do this is for them to put Quicktime on their machine; then...they'll have exactly the same problem!

You can set the default program for any file extension in Windows, this should take care of your problem, it also depends on the mime type being sent from the website.

I may reinstall it (once the video in question has been delivered) but there was yet another archived show I wanted to download (Quicktime once again intrephered) I had a discussion with a friend of mine last night who told me that he was afraid it was just going to cause more trouble with me being able to download things; since I cannot see a file association thing in Quickttime, I decided that (at least for now) that Quicktime was gonna have to go! Thanks all for your suggestions and am willing to listen to more, for my fear is that Quicktime may be the only player that will work with this video as it was taken with an Android smart phone!

You can always do a save target as in the right click menu on the link instead of just hitting enter as well.

Hopefully there is a way around this problem!

I had to make windows media player the default player to play the avi file. the problem is with quicktime, I don't know of a way to change file type associations. if you can find out how to change the file types in quicktime, you could disable the association. - Original Message - From: Tom Kaufman tomca...@comcast.net To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, June 29, 2014 11:21 PM Subject: RE: Reposting A Question Gary: I think I got to the right page you are telling me to go; problem is that Winamp (that's what II want as my default player) isn't there! I think in Winamp preferences, I _do_ have it checked to play all file types. However, when I try to download this particular podcast, Quicktime just jumps on in there and plays the file; this is not what I want! I want to be able to ddownload the podcast as I used to! So I need to know what it is I have to do to accomplish this?

I think you are using windows 7, so go into control and find default settings. when there, tab over to list view. hit a letter such as windows for windows media player and tab to where it says make default program, hit apply, then okay and see if that does what you want. - Original Message - From: Tom Kaufman tomca...@comcast.net To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2014 11:48 AM Subject: Reposting A Question Hello list: A couple of days ago or so, I posted a question concerning an audio podcast I have been trying to download.
