Description

is this possible?

quicktime can play flv files when quicktime pro and perian QT plugin are installed (there should be quicktime pro & perian on the small laptop). however, i can't seem to force firefox to load an flv file in vertov--it opens in quicktime player when i click on the file, but when i click on the "view" button the only option i get is to download the file.

Anyway, perian works fine for mac, but we can't know if it'll play till we load it in vertov.

On a windows machine, it looks hopeless. This looks maybe windows related... http://forum.videohelp.com/topic342677.html http://www.download.com/Windows-Essentials-Media-Codec-Pack/3000-2140_4-10662709.html?tag=pdp_prod ... and squat. Can't happen on Windows.

Note that this affects macs only. Windows machines can't play FLV in quicktime currently.
