I was trying last week to see DM2 Macintosh animations but it was a real pain!
So, after reading some doc and an old post between Gambit and Christophe, I manage to convert all these videos into decent format.

The results are:

• DM2 Mac videos published on youtube (http://www.youtube.com/user/GreatStoneEx)
• All the Mac video YouTube links on my DM2 page (http://greatstone.free.fr/dm/g_dm2.html)
• An article on my website explaining how to convert them yourself (http://greatstone.free.fr/dm/d_articles_mac.html)

Christophe,
Do you think we can have these youtube embedded videos as part of the Encyclopaedia?

GreatStone.

Technically I could embed youtube videos but that requires full HTML input which is not secure to open to the public.
I shall look into adding a module for that purpose on the site. I'll have a look on drupal.org.

I've had DM2 for Macintosh for many years and it never occurred to me to convert the animations and upload them! Quicktime Pro is all that you need to read them and export them to a better format (like MPEG 4)!

Quicktime pro doesn't seem to be free, as far as I am able to understand the Apple site.
Next, after years of playing with my PC, Quicktime won't have anymore the privilege to be installed on it
So, I cannot comment on your suggestion.
By the way, the deal with moov and mov file formats (which are different file formats, flattened or not, Apple or Windows) and very old Cinepak used codec, seems not so easy.

Clearly, the goal here is to be able to see such videos on most modern computers, most operating systems and most players.
