Dear Kathy and all,

I'm glad the problem has been solved but it brings up another question from me. I
routinely make movies in quicktime (.mov) format using Adobe Premier for Macintosh
and they play perfectly well on all of our lab Macs.  In my opinion, a Macintosh
should play a .mov file, is this incorrect?  Is it just a question of having the
latest version of Quicktime installed?

Also, in the past I have had cross-platform compatibility issues that I was able to
solve by using the movie conversion software Rad Video tools:

Thanks for your help, John.
