Only QuickTime Pro 7.0.3 and iMovieHD can encode correctly for it. Most other encoders (e.g Handbrake, ffMpegX, Toast7) are OK with the MPEG4 files they create. Paul

It's *couldn't*, unless you are both a) American and b) using a sarcastic tone. And even then, it makes me shudder... but it's the nature of language to evolve into nonsensical phrases, eg "head over heels" so I guess I have to suffer. Yes, it *does* irritate me enough that I've googled the etymology. Grrr. -zs-
