A bit more information:
I decided to go looking for a Quicktime file, so I Googled on "Quicktime
movies". This led me to an Apple site. where I found, downloaded, and
tried a .MOV file (supposedly an Apple commercial with Yo Yo Ma). This
file didn't play, but didn't give an error message, either. I tried it
from Mozilla, too, but nothing visible happened.
