You could also post intermediatary clips on Egroups/Onelist listservs. For example, if someone can make AVI but not MPEG and needs to send it to someone who can convert AVI to MPEG, they can use the listservs to transfer files at their convenience without forcing a download through email. Once the clips are done, you could move them to the SW server (presuming that server to be the final destination). BTW, Quicktime can be viewed on PC's, too. I'm using Media Player on Windows 98 and can view MOV files, which are quicktime single-fork format. To test your machine (Windows PC) there might be a sample.mov file in your Windows directory. It's nothing more than an animated QT logo. I also found an old Budweiser commercial and a Music video in MOV (QT) format and they played fine too. Note that QT movies have to be single fork (flattened) to play on PC's. I took a look at my software that came with my video capture card and I can only save video clips in AVI format from my camcorder or VCR. I did a quick search for QT <-> AVI conversion utilities and found the following page: https://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/b9f6.htm It's a tutorial of sorts which also tells where to find utilities.
