FWIW, DivX/MPEG4 or MPEG2 are much better (portable!) formats than the
garbage that is WMV.

I'll do something better later today. I just dumped those
out there as they were in my camera's native format. I
should be able to get something good in just a meg or two.

MPEG would be fine by me. But please not QT--the *&(%! player plays
hob with my file associations, even after I tell it not to. Does
anyone make a standalone QT player (i.e. not a browser plugin?).

Where do I find it? To be clear, I want a standalone QT player with
no preset file associations that I can invoke from a command line--
just a simple utility to play a file. No installation, or registry
modification. A *nix version would be even better.
I had not realized that such an animal existed, and I don't seem to
see it on Apple's website.

Hmmm, I use mplayer for most things (there's a Windows port too I gather).
It's a console app, but several MB in install footprint due to the many
different formats that it supports - so that might not be what you're looking
for.
From the man page:
[ mplayer is a movie player for Linux (runs on many other platforms and
[ CPU architectures, see the documentation). It plays most MPEG/VOB, AVI,
[ ASF/WMA/WMV, RM, QT/MOV/MP4, Ogg/OGM, MKV, VIVO, FLI, NuppelVideo,
[ yuv4mpeg, FILM and RoQ files, supported by many native and binary codecs.
[ You can watch Video CD, SVCD, DVD, 3ivx, DivX 3/4/5 and even WMV movies,
[ too.
I find it handy as it'll dump all sorts of "streaming" formats from websites
to a file for off-line use - I used to get annoyed at seeing something on a
site but not having time right them to look at it, then finding that it was
gone a few hours later.
cheers

I could use some help here ...
On my website (www.pdp-11.nl) is a folder called "movies".
At this moment there is just one page in it, the head movement
of an RK07 that initializes. It was .mov, but it is converted
to Indeo format .avi (with STOIK Video converter 2) to get the
size smaller. I still have an original .mov, but it is 5.81 Mb!
Which (free) tool can I use to convert .mov to .mpg ?
I would also like to cut a smaal piece from the start and from
the end of the .mov movie.
Also, in IE, when you click the picture, IE launches a new window
in which the movie is played in a small frame.
The move is actually 320 x 240, so download it and play in your
player will probably look better. Are there better ways to add a
movie on the website (limiting to JavaScript)?
thanks,
- Henk.
