And note that your plan requires a third party to license something
expensive from MS for the movie business to work (not to mention
the expense of building the actual player), whereas using
Quicktime, which is already available for Mac, Windows and Linux,
would require no extra expense.; Posted by: tic swayback Posted on: 07/07/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
