subject: [Paddlewise] Quick!!! I need help with Quicktime!
Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2008 22:43:33 -0800
You may not think it kayaking related, but most of my videos ARE of
kayaking, so:

Any advice on how to get my Quicktime running again? It comes up and plays
sound, but the video is just a green and orange flashing light! It plays
streaming video from the web, but not my MOV. files. I un and reinstalled
numerous times, turned off virus detection, installed from both the website
and a disk that came with my camera software. No success. All you kayakers
frozen in your houses, here something to ponder while you wait for the thaw!

I tried installing QT once, but it insisted on being bundled with 
iTunes (which I have no need for and do not want), so I just gave up. 
There are other media players that will show MOV type files.

Perhaps I shouldn't reply at all, since I'm actually quite toasty 
warm in my house and the doors are not frozen either. I went out 
yesterday for an eye appointment. Pretty much everything that's been 
left outside is frozen though.... and it's bloody snowing *again*! 
There was an article in yesterday's paper saying that we are on pace 
to beat the total record snowfall accumulation set in the 1970-71 
winter.

I'd say that the white water guys are in for a treat when the spring 
thaw (finally!) comes.

attention to dangerous hydraulics, of course, but when rivers that normally
carry 15,000 cfs roar along at 45,000 cfs things change dramatically. Every
spring there are a few w/w boys who have to be pulled out of the hole that
develops in the Spokane River just west of the Idaho/Washington border. In
fact, it's become quite the thing to stand on the shore with one's throwing
rope at the ready.

I don't mind a challenge... but a smackdown is no fun.
