After doing more testing, I have found that the site I have the most problems with is Yahoo. Going to Apple's site and viewing trailers seems to work. I was able to play mov and asf videos. MPG did not work (unless I downloaded the file first). Some I'm having less issues than first thought. Not sure why Yahoo does not work though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
