Well the Mac version certainly imports/exports MOVs, and frankly I'm
surprised that the NT version can't cope with MOVs, makes it sound half
useless -- there are a whole bunch of things AVIs don't support.  But MOVs
aren't important now ...

Any version of Mac Quicktime after v2.5 will import MPEGs (importing).

You're actually running Quicktime 3 though?  Maybe you want the Pro
version, though I doubt that's the issue.

I'm tempted to bring my PIII Bunny Person into uni, replete with voodoo
sticks /in corpo/.
