To pipe in with my GBP0.02: I've been playing with SMIL and Quicktime on and off for the last few years. I ended up just doing most things by hand in notepad, although I did give Magpie a whirl with decent results http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/magpie/ One thing that still annoys me is that, although QT understands SMIL just fine, the player does not associate itself automatically with the .sml and .smil extensions, meaning that users with QT need to explicitly open the player, then force it to open the SMIL file...rather convoluted. Another way to do it would be to embed a QT object in a web page and forcing the file to be displayed via Quicktime that way. (unless this has changed now, haven't looked at the issue in the last few months, admittedly). Patrick ________________________________ Patrick H.
