i made an animated qt loop for a website banner...but not everyone can access it.
i tried it as a quicktime movie (.mov), and as an mpeg-4 (.mp4), which is what it is now.

you can see it (or not ) here

some pc users, and my friend today in mac os9, are told they don't have a needed plugin.

any ideas?
want it to be simple, small file, accessible to everyone.


thanx!

I'd consider making it a .swf.....it can easily be done from several programs, including ImageReady

great!
i never opened imageready before...!
converted the vid, uploaded the .swf file, and am in business.


EDIT: the downside is, slower to load.. (and is blocked on my mac by pithhelmet).

any way to make it flash but not be seen as an ad???
