Hi, i've just moved my Lacie external hard drive over to my PowerBook, it's in the NTFS format, which works okay with OS X, but i guess it's read only. I have some video clips that i dragged of my digital camcorder, which i've saved into mpeg format. Now quicktime opens them up and plays them, but for some reason not the enitre clip, and i dont know why this is, i've got a 20minute section of footage, yet Quicktime only plays 4mins of it.

Anybody know what this is?

Thanks

If you don't have the VLC media player. You can get here at version tracker or here at mac update.

VLC player plays the whole file, any ideas why quicktime only plays the first few minutes?

I have never had a problem with quicktime. So I don't understand the reference to the term puppy squeeze.
