A co-worker and I have just noticed an interesting phenomenon.

When we to go to the h.264 gallery on Apple's website. When we go to a movie/trailer that has a 1080p version the link for the 1080p will show up on my PowerBook but not on Windows. I know I downloaded the 1080p trailer for Serenity and had it run on my Windows box at home but why no links for them when using Windows?

simple answer: Quicktime 7, which is required for HD playback, isn't available for Windows.

You were correct 2 days ago. Its been quiet because of all the hype of the nano, but it did get realised yesterday.

I do know that the 1080p movies when clicked launches Quicktime. Maybe the coding needs to be fixed as so the Windows version will open.

Have you tried another Window's computer?
