Could someone perhaps tell me why windows users aren't able to view a video on my site?

URL: http://www.herzliyafilms.com/ and then click on "The Unbelievable Truth"

Thanks...

Unable to download an appropriate decompressor. (Error=80040200)

Cannot play back the video stream: no suitable decompressor could be found. (Error=80040255)

Windows Media Player tries to play it and that's what it says.

try reading this, it might provide some answers. it looks like you're just using the old skool code, not the new "windoze-friendly" code

Okay... I followed the instructions and it seems to be working okay on my mac. Can someone who had a problem with it before please try it again and see if it works.

Thanks...

It now loads Quicktime instead of WMP, but I don't have QT6.

Well thats a start I guess. I really wish it would work w/ QT 5 though because that is probably what most Mac and PC people are using. Oh well. Thanks for testing it out.

yeah, works fine here now. maybe grab a QT badge, and have that on there too, so it's a bit more obvious? other than that, it's good to go
