This should be doable at the Safari end; I don't have access to the root
of the website for one thing, and the mp4 is now the standard extension
just about everywhere; it's even being used professionally. With PCs, all
of this is completely configurable by going into file extensions - in
other words .mp4 is associated with Quicktime (although on PCs you don't
have to do that) - are you sure this isn't possible on Macs? And why would
a Mac read a dot-file on the site root anyway? It would just access the
.mp4 file itself - Safari wouldn't be looking for anything else. And if it
was, why couldn't that be placed natively on the Mac?
This is too weird since Quicktime has pushed .mp4 and yet they're
basically Mac/Apple.

Hi
I use Safari, and while it does most things a browser should do, it
renders .mp4 files horribly. Problem is that a ".txt" extension is
appended to the mp4 file, so Safari renders us a text version of the
mp4. Mostly, that isn't what the author intended.
There is something to be done about it, but that something is to be
done by the author on the website. It implies adding a so-called
".htaccess" file (note the dot preceding the file name) to the root
of the site. Or editing the file if it already exists.
.htaccess is a text file. It should contain the following:
AddType audio/mpeg mp3
AddType audio/mp4 mp4
Might be common knowledge, but I thought I might share this just in
case.

It should play in Quicktime - it's using Quicktime codices (H 264)-

Droste and Berber in rehearsal
never before released footage from the original
production
with new tabla accompaniment especially commissioned
by the hairs of Droste and Berber
cut off from the bodies of Droste and Berber
as well as accompanying avatars created from cloth
and wire
held in suspension creating a perfect framework
for this first time and perhaps only this time
a framework where Berber first sadly languished
then rose to the occasion of Droste's bizarre
accompaniment
this silent film direct from the Weimar era
salvaged from numerous bunkers of works of tired
cinema
lay sadly in shadows where reels of film were found
presented now almost in their pristine original
condition
the hairs of Droste and Berber were tangled sadly
among the reels where memories of Droste and Berber
languished among the clubs of old Berlin
