Safari 3 beta and Quicktime

Why to I get the Q? when I try to watch things like YouTube videos?

 

Because some are .avi files?

Install Flip4Mac.

There must be other reasons too, because I have Flip4Mac installed and
still have this problem.
I expect there is something else installed that is causing the problem.

 

I find that playback of .avi files in a browser window is broken since I
updated to 10.4.10 in both Safari 3 beta and Camino. I reinstalled
Flip4Mac, which needed to be updated anyway, but this did not solve the
problem. I had not seen any other mention about this, though, so I
assumed it was something FUBAR'd in my system.

 

I can play an .avi in my Safari 3 window. It's a DivX.

 

How about some specifics- like a link?

Most of the stuff I run across plays since Flip4, in Firefox or Safari,
but haven't seen much since I went to beta 3.

 

It's a local file, on my hd. It's an hour-long tv show. Should I email
it to you?

You should be able to find an .avi on the web somewhere. Google google
google.

 

Don't be arch. I'm not interested in "some" .avi file somewhere on the
web. I was interested in helping solve someone's problem. Specifics
usually help.

 

It's an Xvid @ 23.97 with (MP3 @16 bits/48k 128) audio in an .avi
container. You should have no trouble finding such. Download an episode
of The Simpsons.
