I recorded a Quicktime 7 pro movie with my Isight, and posted it on .mac. People with Pc's are only getting sound and no video when going to my .mac website or viewing it on their computers! What's the deal???? Do PC owners have to upgrade? Please help!

Probably they need to upgrade to QuickTime 7, and it hasn't been released yet AFAIK.

Well I figured out that you can export the quicktime file as an avi, which is a little bigger in term of mb, a little more than double, and then an AVI can be played on Windows Media Player. I sent the file. In terms of .Mac, I haven't really experimented yet.

If you look in Quicktime preferences under recording you need to select quality "good(mpeg4)", your recording in H264 which is Quicktime 7 only. There isnt a PC version of QT7 yet.

In terms of exporting you could leave it as a .mov file but set the video type to mpeg-4, again this should make it more compatible with our PC friends.

Hope this helps
