[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 659838, member: 3850"] Yeah, that sounds like a typical case of a file being downloaded with the incorrect extension. I think it usually happens with videos formatted for the iPod... Change ".txt" to ."mp4" and try playing them in Quicktime... Actually whether or not it is downloaded depends on the way the file is set up on the webpage: You can either embed the video file to stream it, or offer it as a download. Quicktime is capable of streaming and playing at the same time, you just need to enable "Play movies automatically" and enable "instant on" under the quicktime system preference pane. [/QUOTE]
