Thanks Ronni,
I have never had any problem with Safari 5 or 5.0.5. Videobox opens
automatically and downloads the clip. Solved the problem by going back to
5.0.5 as the default browser. Apple don't make life easy with some of their
attitudes. Will stay with 5.0.5 until Apple or Video box sort their stuff out.
Regards
John
