On my Mac, I can view .mov, .mpeg or .mpg (most of the time), .raw
(RealPlayer?--most of the time), .asf (Windows Media player--most of the time),
and I was able to install the divx system extension and view your .avi's. The
quality of the .avi on the Mac is proportional to my processor speed though.
Which means that it was really bad because I didn't want to install the beta
divx extension on any of my real Macs (the fast ones).
And when I say "most of the time", I mean, I have had problems viewing that
format. Usually it is "special" stuff that breaks the files. For example, some
of the content on DVD's (for example: Star Wars: Episode I) does not work on the
Mac because it is "special", meaning "special" for Windows.
Also, the QuickTime extension is .mov. I have never seen ".qt".
Oh, and I should clarify: I don't dislike the PC. I dislike Bill Gates' ability,
determination, and habit of destroying the competition. Other than that, the PC
is just another computer (I grew up in the day when there were multitudes of
platforms and I used Commodores).
