Title: Quicktime AVI Problem (I think)
Post by: Pissed_Macman on 6 May 2003, 21:02

Can anyone else running the newest version of quicktime view this (http://voodoofiles.com/getit.asp?id=9690&g=1&d=5&s=803068873)? When I try to, a blank screen will come up and it will inform me that software is missing and there's nothing I can do about it. It doesn't tell me what software to get or how to fix it at all. I'm thinking it has something to do with the fact that the file is an AVI, but that's just my theory. I can play the movie, but all I get is the sound.

I can view it fine, but I use mplayer   ;)  

Will there even be a mac version of that game?

answer:

from the faq,

For what platforms will the game be available?
The game will initially be available for PCs.

And I should probably abandon all hope of them producing a linux version.  But wine will probably run it a'ight.

linux runs primarily on a PC, and macintoshes can be rightly described as PCs as well. one day i hope these smarmy 'available for PC' arseholes get sued for all they are worth for this idiotic slipup. bastards won't ever make a version for my PC i bet.

MPlayer for OS X (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mplayerosx/). It still has some way to go, since it's still beta, but it's pretty stable for everyday use.   (http://smile.gif)

Oh, forgot about this thread. Thanks for your help.

And Blizzard has always been really good about releasing things for Mac. I have no doubt the Mac version will be out within a month of the "PC" release.
