Video Archive / Quicktime doesn't work!

Campusfive

So the quicktime clips only play sound, and don't show video. Specifically the Oscar Aleman clips don't work.

I've tried everything to get them to work. I'm on Win XP, the latest version of quicktime. Is there some specific codec that I need to get?

Also I tried on some of the brand new mac at the apple store. Same result?

Any ideas?

Dunno...I'm on XP and they work fine.

As you know Michael, I never been able to get your QuickTime clips to work on my computer but that link was fine.

Great...

It seems that some of you are missing and audio codec for the quicktime. Do any of the Quicktime ones work for you?

So the untitled Oscar clip works using the new link, but the other one, as well as several other clips, does not.

Like I said, I've got the lastest version of quicktime. Are you using some specific codec to encode them?

You're definitely missing a codec...i'm not sure which one.

Either way, when I get some time I'll convert the other quicktime vids to windows media.

I've got the latest downloads as well Michael and yours is the only QuickTime that does not work on my computer. Very odd!! :?

I converted all the quicktime to Windows Media. Hopefully these will work for everyone...

Resurrecting this thread. When I click on the main link to the video archive, I see some postings that have youtube videos attached to them. Others just show the write up but no link to any video or nothing appearing. I'm on a Mac. Is this still a Mac vs. PC codec issue here? I click on each of the links in Michael's last post and there are no videos. The last line of text says you need Windows Media Player. Is this still the case in 2021? It seems nothing has been updated there since 2008 so perhaps that is a dead project?
