so... how does AndrewS upload his MPEG4 file then ??
One way maybe would be to change the file extension to .mov ??
You could try it - you're relying on quicktime / mediaplayer spotting its format from the file content rather than the name thoughSteve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

No, QT and MP are ignorant of the file extension... its the operating system that needs it to assign the file to the right app. What wrapper around the file is also mostly irrelevant too as the media container tells the app what CODEC to use to decode and play the file.
The other option of course is to just transcode the file into a boring WMV file But both QT and MP will handle MPEG4 video and audio.
How else can you play your iTunes downloads

WMV or QT - surely it's only the content that can be 'boring'

winzip it Andrew and upload the zip file - solves ALL issues with 'dodgy' filetypes
I've just read the rest of this thread and it didn't make sense at first - but I 'think' this was the one where Stu's Simpsons Disco Stu avatar lost all his hair Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
