I didn't do a test because I don't have time to figure out how to properly use the ActiveX to do a proper test. I will have plenty of time to figure it out later, just not now. My client is stuck on Windows Media (or MPEGs) because he doesn't want his primarily PC-based audience to have to install QT.
(In my opinion, Real is at the bottom of the totem pole as far as being better and more widely used. They should just go away.)

Good question! Try a test file and see. :) > Is there anyway to play Windows Media in shockwave (or a projector, > for that > matter) on a Mac? AFAIK no, though QT6 might be able to handle it -- look at apple.com/quicktime and see if they mention it there. Why use WinMedia anyway when there are at least two much better and more widely used formats available? (Three, if you include Real.)
