Hi

I made an iMovie and converted it to QT format.
When I try to play it on Windows 2000 running QT 4.0 it won't play.

Is there some format that I must use so it will play on Windows.
As my school uses windows and most of my students are using windows I am force to accomodate these pc nuts. What I am trying to do is burn everything onto CDs and give them to students regardless of thier choice of platform.

Would mpeg be a better choice?
I put the movie on a homepage but can't upload to the internet due to size limits. This file is about 250mb.

Thanks

Just a guess but I'd think upgrading the PC's to QuickTime 6 would be a good idea.

When you converted from iMovie to QT, did you use the default settings (e.g. "Web Movie, Small")? If so, which one(s)? Or did you use the expert settings? If so, which one(s)?
