Crystal Pink - Hotbox clip

Thanks skateguy, but I have to agree with everybody else the file does not work,

I could Convert the file, then re-up but the file would just have the video without the sound.

Videos have been converted to mpeg-4 (.mp4) and are download-able from post #1. Obviously, d/l the sample and check that you can play that first before downloading the full version.

Mac users will need to play it in Quicktime (apologies, I was lying(!) it doesn't play in VLC) and have flip4Mac installed. Its a component that enables you to play windows media files (e.g. wmv3 files) in Quicktime. Its really small & easy to install. Also, make sure you've got the most recent version of Quicktime installed. Get flip4Mac from herehttp://www.flip4mac.com/wmv_download.htm

Moron & robhojy is this the case? Are you Mac users? Or are PC users having problems playing this in Windows Media Player? Have any PC users managed to get this to play?

Botch - you said thanks - did you get it to play - what media player did you use & are you on a Mac or PC?

The file name is hb_cp.mov. The .mov extension means it's a Quicktime file and to play it you'll need Quicktime in both Windows and Mac. This is not a Windows media file.

Ok - thanks for the tip for how PC users should play it. Despite the extension though, it is encoded with Windows Media Audio 9 and is not really a quicktime file. Therefore Mac users will require flip4mac i order to play it in Quicktime. I'm not a PC user, so am not sure...but if you change the extension to .wmv would it not then play in Windows Media Player given that it how it is encoded?

Anyway, I've converted the files to a different format Mpeg-4 (extension .mp4) and am currently uploading to RS.

Sorry for any difficulties people are having....!

As I have both a Mac and a PC I can give you some info:

The original file with the .mov extension played fine on the Mac using Quicktime Player, with no need for the Flip4Mac add on. I think Quicktime Player can cope with a wide range of audio these days. Flip4Mac is a means of playing Windows streaming media (usually with a .wma or .wmv extension) on a Mac.

The file wouldn't play on the PC at all, even using Quicktime player. Changing the extension to .wmv didn't work. The problem with the file probably stems from saving it as a Quicktime (.mov) but with Windows audio.

The new version with the .mp4 extension plays fine on the PC using Real player or Gom player. Other players probably work too. It also plays on the mac with Quicktime. It was worth the hassle - very sexy clip! Many thanks.

Thankyou it now works, Thanks for the Convert.
