Hmmm - then the video should be playing, even on a Mac.
Well MB, I don't have a definite answer as to what the problem is (sometimes I think its because I need to do a systemwide upgrade one day soon...certain programs aren't always compatable or run up to par unless you have one of the more recent Mac systems, or at least in my case [ie, I currently have Mac OSX version 10.28...the latest is Mac OSX 10.4, dubbed "Tiger"]. But I have the most up to date version of the Windows Media Player for the Mac, so...I dunno.

Whew...in a round about way, I think I may have just answered my own question. Sorry for rambling...Sigh. lol
No problem. In fact, because so few people routinely read the Testing board (and shame on those of you who don't (admin: for shame)), mentioning your situation here in this topic might actually alert more Mac users to a possible problem.
I loved the smiley you used just then...lol. And yes, people who don't read the testing board should be whipped with something long strong and silver during a full moon!
