The problem may be that Window is not allowing QuickTime to launch up
as plug-in within your browser. If you set your Browser preferences
to make QuickTime the default application for ".mov" files, the
movies should play in your browser. Fox Fire is also very QT
friendly. That said, many PC and Mac people prefer to use "VLC,"
which is a free, free-standing player.

I uploaded a mpg4 movie for VLP here:

Short of the movie, here's an mp3.

0- 3.5 secs: NT1-A's->Sound Devices 722 at Full Gain
3.5 -7 secs: NT1-As ->RollsPB224->Sony NH900 HiMD at record setting "28"
7 - 10 secs: Nt1-As'->MicroTracker 2496 in H position; +27 Gain and Full Ga=
in
10- 13 secs: Nt1A's -> MP2 External Mic Gain -> MicroTracker
2496 Line Input@ Unity
13- 17 secs: NT1-As ->RollsPB224->Sony NH900 HiMD at record setting "28"
Output Comparisons:
Reference: Rolls PB224->HiMD: 0dB
Sound Devices 722: -8dB
MicroTracker 2496: -21dB
MP2->MicroTracker Line In: -8dB
Here's a spectragraph that Gianni kindly made. The five sections can
be seen within the black columns.
