[quote=Cleo;326986]Macs have always played wmv files but the player from Microsoft was hideous. QUOTE]


I guess the support just has not been native then. Personally I like QuickTime about as much as RealPlayer. They both like to pop-up at you and live in your tray. I'm not a fan of MS but just very used to it...If it were up to me everything would be open source. With your comments Cleo I can see even less reason to consider using mpegs...

I've heard other Windows users say this as well. On a Mac QuickTime is just another application that doesn't do anything unless you actually use it for something but then Macs don't have a tray or pop messages up.

But QuickTime does get installed as part of iTunes and since the iPod has become such a huge success I'm guessing that these days QuickTime is common on PCs these days.

On the paysites that I manage we use mpeg-1 files since it seems to be the only format that gives us zero problems with members.
