What Happens When You Send Movies Made On Your Mac To Your Friends
From an email in response to sending a friend a brief clip in Quicktime (.mov) format:
Hi Doug.
Unfortunately, your movie wouldn’t play on our computer.

If your friend is running Windows, it is true s/he will need either some sort of WMP codec or a universal media player like the VLC media player (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/).
I have Quicktime on my PC, but some folks don’t like bulking up on all sorts of of player software. VLC plays everthing I’ve thrown at it, and versions are available for all major OS platforms. Recommended!
