I'm in a stick here and want to see if anyone can help out.

There are two files that someone encoded into mpeg4 and the Mac I'm working on cannot open them - Quicktime 7 sucks!

If anyone can open these on a PC please convert them avi wmv or mov files for me. Please try and maintain the quality and size.

http://wiki.digitalbazaar.com//download ... -final.mp4

http://wiki.digitalbazaar.com/download/ ... -final.mp4

these are under the creative commons so altering and editing is allowed. Once converted please PM me and we can figure out how to transfer/upload them.

Thanks

Hmm I'm sure I can find some "freeware" :wink:

Actually I can't save the files, I think I need quicktime pro.

This is one of the issues I have with the hardcore FOSS people. They use the pseudo -codecs that 'play' fine, but the portability of that codec sucks.

I'm heading into work. If I cannot transcode it there then nothing on gods green earth will be able to.

Thanks for your help everyone.

sweet, thanks!
It's funny. I have thousands of dollars of video gear at my disposal and I cannot even open and convert what should be a very standard codec. :roll:

Apple has really screwed us on this one. There are over 2000 posts made on the support forum about Quicktime 7 and how it has all but bollixed the entire video industry in one fail swoop.
