S Bob,
Thanks SOOOOO much for posting those pictures. The QuickTime video worked for me on my iBook. I think I'll invest in a set of those new video viewing glasses so that I can experience an even more exciting trip. Looks like great fun!!

Take your time and let it download. Also make sure your Quicktime player is up to date. Or right click and download it to your desktop.

I was able to just click it and it played after a few moments.

I was able to view the video but only after jumping through a few hoops. First my browser (IE7) asked to install a QuickTime ActiveX control. Then I had to click on the video image to activate the control. Then I had to wait a minute or so for the large file to download. Then it started playing.

Although PhotoPost will accept video files, it is really intended for stills. It can't preview the video and can't stream it. Also, files like this would be over quota for most users.

Although the PhotoPost software is great it does come up short on video handling. Hopefully they'll improve that in future versions.

As I mentioned in this thread, videos posted on YouTube or Google Video can be embedded in Forum messages and work great.
