QT '.mov' files are just containers which can contain almost any kind
of data - if you simply saved the cut up bits rather than exporting
them via a new codec, the original avi codec is still being used
within the file. If that avi codec is present on your Mac but not the
PC that would explain the problem.
Does the original .avi file play in QT on the PC?

Hi from Paris,
I used Quicktime Pro on my Mac to slice up a .avi file into
several .mov files (apparently the only option). In my Rev stack,
my player script worked a treat, and played the .mov files (and
also the original .avi files). Then I ran my .rev stack on the PC
(StackRunner), and the files wouldn't play. Mark Schonewille (off-
forum) suggested that I was missing a codec, which is quite a
logical suggestion, but for a .mov file created by Quicktime
(although Mac) itself, I was curious. So I first tried opening
the .mov file on my PC, by launching Quicktime (I don't have the
Pro version on my PC), isolating the problem from my Rev script.
Surprise, although it displays the window, and plays the audio
track, the video track is not displayed. So it is not a Rev
problem, but a QT problem. I have the latest iTunes/Quicktime on my
XP PC, so why can't I read .mov files created by QT itself ? I
realize that this is not a Rev problem, but perhaps other users
have come across this cross-platform QT problem which prevents Rev
"Play Video" scripts from running correctly.
