Hi,
thank you. I downloaded that file. It's 1495 bytes only. Then when I try to
open it with QT Player 6.5, I see a message saying that I need QT 5.0.2 or
higher (!?). And QT 6.5 is higher than 5.0.2, of course
Please note that I can play proprly other files via streaming with QT 6.5.
Any idea? What should I do now to download the real movie?
Best Regards
