The Birkett videos apparently are in a relatively uncommon format, divx. If on Mac you are running OSX Mac OS X 10.4.7 or higher, then you can use Perian, a free, open source QuickTime component that adds native support for many popular video formats. Perian will allow the Birkett videos to run in Quicktime. http://perian.org/ Kent On Feb 11, 2010, at 9:42 PM, rwest1 at unl.edu wrote: > I have an iBook G4 so I downloaded the MPlayer software but the pictures and the software aren't finding each other. If I click on the picture, the default tries to run QuickTime. I copied the url into the new MPlayer software, but that didn't work either. Do I have to change some settings to avoid the QuickTime default? How can I get this to work? > > Richard West > > > On Feb 11, 2010, at 6:07 PM, Mccoy, Alan wrote: > >> If you are using a Mac, it is because the videos won’t work in Quicktime.
