I've been looking into these issues. On the file posted on our
server, myself and others are experiencing the "file stopping" at the
point where the father is calling the child; this seems to be
regardless of platform/version. However, the original file is fine.
It may be something to do with streaming from our server? I posted
both this and another .mov to the same directory with html, and had
trouble playing. When I went to save the movie to my local drive from
the web page, I got an error (-2149).
This is one of more than 150 .mov files, all of which are fine on
other systems, including an EMac with the same OS and QT versions.
None of these display the captions on my system, nor on another
Powerbook (an earlier model, but with Tiger installed). On my stsyem,
when I check the movie props for any of these .movs, it shows that
there is a text track, and I can export the track successfully as
both TExml and as text. I just can't see the captions on screen.
Movie props show that the track is enabled. I thought it may be some
kind of QT preference setting, but can't find anything.
The .mov's are destined to be played back via Director for now, and
converted to Flash (.flv) files for future iterations, so it won't be
a problem long term (as long as I can export the text track for use
in Flash). Unfortunately, the problem does occur when displaying the
files in Director on the affected systems. We'll have to inform our
client so that their tech support can be prepared to field
complaints. Is there any mechanism whereby Apple can be informed of
this as an issue?
