I've been trying to view the quicktime video of the 1984 Mac intro and have had huge amounts of trouble with it jamming.

It starts off ok, but runs about 4mm along the track and stops. From there I have to coax it along by either holding down the fast forward button or running it backward and forward to make it progress at all. Progression is in mm or parts of a mm each time, which can take up to 30 min before reaching the end and being able to play the complete message.

I have a G5 200 dual, but also had the same problem on my blue G3. I am now using Firefox, but was using OE. The version of Quicktime is 6.5.2 and it came with my G5.

Can anyone please enlighten me on what the problem might be, and how I can fix it.

This is a large file with many people jamming up the servers which sometimes
run slow .

You don't say whether you are on ADSL ...
if you are only on a dialup it will take an age to download the file .

Go to http://www.applemachome.com/videos/mac/index.html and select the 1.6 MB for dialup is that is your mode. Came down in a few minutes.
