The mov's that don't work for me are filmed with an Apple iPad where they play perfectly but don't on any of my freebsd boxes here in the office. They are all different versions and setups. So what I tried to do was to convert them to any other format with any of the multiple tools that I have. I really don't know where to look but I'm going to try a few other ideas and if they work I will definately share in case anyone else has a problem. Thanks again, ed
