Re: MPEG 4 conversion

Simon,

Your sample played fine in my Quick Time player, so I used Rad Video Tools
to convert it to an AVI file using Microsoft WMV9 for compression... went
smoothly, played well, and works fine in MM2.

Use the Importing Source Files > Video > MOV page of my site... and treat it
as if it was an MOV.
