(fwiw H.264 isn't a codec either... it's a compression format which can be generated by various codecs) I think I'm scarred from Quicktime files because they often were encoded with codecs like Sorensen which produced proprietary formats. What does IE or firefox < 3.5 really do if you just link to an mpeg file? Doesn't it run whatever app is set to handle that format? Why is a flash plugin based page better than that? I have a feeling I'm just being iconoclastic for the sake of it here. In reality I would be pretty happy with any page that had a link at the bottom to download an mpeg format file with H.264 data in it that mplayer can play. -- greg http://mit.edu/~gsstark/resume.pdf -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
