209834 2004-01-25 08:31:00 Well, i go to an ultralab summer school,
we had made movies on emacs, and exported them as full quality dv mov's
then we burnt them to cd's

when i get home (on pc's)
quicktime says "This file format is a type that Quicktime cannot understand"

WHY? Plz help, my family wants to watch my movie.....

209835 2004-01-25 08:37:00 have you tried reinstalling quicktime? Megaman (344)
209836 2004-01-25 08:49:00 This has been tested on the most recent version of quicktime and on more than 4 computers. ilikelinux (1418)

209841 2004-01-26 02:10:00 all i can suggest is doing an update. mayby theres a compontant missing or the file is corrupt. also try renaming it as an avi and see if any other codec mauy play. long shot but stranger things have happened. tweak'e (174)
209842 2004-01-26 08:44:00 Try playing it using mplayer in Linux with all the Win32 codecs installed (See the mplayer homepage for rpm's).

It will be more likely to play it because Linux judges filetypes by their content, not filename extention :-)
