[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1271398, member: 38864"] Of your options, you can have you MIL install some other software, or convert your media to something that is compatible with Quicktime. Since you don't want to install anything on your computer, it's hardly fair you should expect her to install something else to accommodate you. Which means you need to convert your media. Converting your media is a lossy process, and if your computer is that old and slow, it may be more time consuming to do that when you can simply install Quicktime and check in advance to see if the media will play in that. Never mind the shadow of doubt that there may be that it converted "properly". Having Quicktime on your PC isn't going to impact your performance (though you should disable the Quicktime launcher helper) or take up a noticeable amount of disk space. Not at 24 MB. And I do say that as a former Windows enthusiast who used Quicktime, so I'm not exactly speaking from ignorance here. [/QUOTE]
