I've posted another video at my site, it's called Saint Finn: http://www.digitaldaredevil.com/pages/movie_gallery.html
It's mostly a test of the helmet cam I just finished building.

BTW I'll be filming this Saturday. Location is undecided but likely 38 maybe 27 if someone wants to lead a ride there. Video shoot organization is in the forum at my site.

Thanks for the feedback. I've got plenty of bandwidth so feel free to stream the videos. If the video streams properly it is likely the file is OK. When you downloaded the movie did the file extension get changed? It should be .mp4 or .mov if it's not, Quicktime will bork on it. I'll see if I can trouble shoot the problem.

Streams fine, downloaded won't play.
Everything looks fine on the downloaded file. Properties says it's a quicktime movie, extension is .mov.

If you DL it, rename the .MOV file to .MP4 and it works fine.
Looks like QT isnt smart enough to figure out that its an MP4 file with the wrong extension.

I've replicated the problem with the download on win 2000 and Quicktime 6.0.2 It appears that the problem is not with quicktime because the file on my server is .mp4, windows decides to put the .mov extension on instead for some reason when you download the file and save it to disk. Could those of you who have downloaded the file and got a .mov instead of a .mp4 please post the versions of Quicktime and Windows you're using. To determine the version of quicktime go to the quicktime control panel, there should be an "about quicktime" pull down menu choice which will list the version number, you can also just right click the application and choose "properties" which will list the version number of the quicktime .exe file. Thanks for the input!

Same deal, won't play the .mov file and renaming it to .mp4 didn't work.

Renaming the file to .mp4 does work. However, you need to tell windows to show file extensions. By default all versions of Windows I've used hide file extensions. You set windows explorer (not internet explorer) to show all file extensions. To make the setting open my computer, go to the "Tools" menu, pick the "Folder options..." submenu, click the "view" tab and then uncheck the box "Hide extensions for known file types". You should then see the file you downloaded is called Saint_Finn.mov at which time you can rename it to Saint_Finn.mp4 and you'll be able to watch it. I'm still trying to figure out how windows decides to add the .mov extension instead of leaving it .mp4 as it is on my server.

Thanks, that worked. I tried to rename it .mp4 but I guess I had to have the "Hide extensions for known file types" unchecked first.
