Anyone know if there is a windows media player version of the Macworld keynote address out there? My stupid windows machine will not play it in Quicktime. I've updated to the latest version of QT.

Thanks

It's quicktime only.

I don't think Apple would use Windows media player.
They push quicktime a LOT. Their whole quicktime theatre and such.

go watch it at the Apple store or a friend's house?

I was hoping that a download of this would be hosted elsewhere by now. I haven't found it yet, though.

I doubt it. I have only ever seen the keynotes in QuickTime format. It is essentially Apple's format, so I doubt they would go out of their way tot put anything in a format which they don't really support. ;) :cool:

This will fix your problem

otherwise just get VLC for windows - That should play it

Yep - VLC or MPlayer should do the trick, either one... Or if you do find a WMV version you could still watch it on your Mac with Flip4Mac! :D ;)

Thanks, I think I know what the problem is. My company has recently installed content filtering software. I cant seem to get QT 7.0.4 to connect to the server, error every time. I also cannot download .exe, .zip or .dmg files. Bummer.

Yep - sounds like your problem is Big Brother. ;) :cool:
