Re: QT 7.1.3 and Flash support

With Flash support turned off in QuickTime preferences, and QuickTime Player or your browser restarted, the Flash track claims to be a Base Track, and will fail miserably. Enabling Flash again and quitting and launching QT Player or the browser will make it work again. After enabling Flash support and quitting Safari I could then reopen your link and the Flash track worked again.

What we were talking about before was that this tragic situation does not affect Flash only content on the web (unless you have told the browser to handle Flash only content with the QuickTime plugin). There isn't anything you can do to on the fly turn on the feature, and even if you could you would still require the user to restart the browser.

Your options include re-authoring the whole thing in Flash, or finding a way to let the user know about the problem. One way to do that would be to have a typical Click to Begin QuickTime movie that launches the soccer movie, with the Click to Begin words being an opaque Flash track. Underneath the Flash track would be a normal video track that tells you user how to go and enable Flash support again. Anyone with Flash support won't see the error message, anyone without Flash support will.
