(I think others may have mentioned this elsewhere, but there were also problems viewing it at first.)

Hey people, what the heck is going on ? Whenever I go to the link above and click on the "Quicktime" link it goes to a download link and says file not found ??

Apparently I can run anything from the QT site yet videos in iTunes run just find, I have downloaded and updated everything I can find yet QT won't play.

I have Mac OS X 10.3.9.

i don't know why that is, but just FYI, the keynotes are the only thing i've ever seen in this Quicktime streaming format, which is completely different. it's very processor intensive too.

I don't know why it won't work for you but here's the embedded URL to paste into Quicktime

rtsp://a2047.v1411b.c1411.g.vq.akamaistream.net/5/2047/1411/2_h264_650/1a1a1ae454c430950065de4cbb2f94c226950c7ae655b61a48a91475e243acda3dac194879adde0f/mw_2006_3_650.mov

Streams very well for me but takes about 45% CPU on a 1.4GHz G4

Ah, interesting. I tried what you said and found the same problem... but, err, you want to click on the blue "Watch the Keynote Address" button under the picture instead, anyway. Try that and see if it works. Regardless, Captain Code has given you the URL for the direct link to the video anyway. One of these two proposals should work.

The link does not show for me and when I use the link for QT I get an error 404, I think its a file not found.

I guess Apple just hates me !?!?!?!

THANKS anyway !!!

Try opening this URL in QuickTime Player: http://stream.qtv.apple.com/events/j...06_650_ref.mov

Wow, it's perfect quality now! You can jump to any part of the movie and it starts playing at that spot instantly (well, on my Power Mac)!

[MACchine]

HOLLY COWABUGA !!! Apple doen't HATE me -- that's strange !?!?!?

I got the rtsp link to work !!!!!!

If you leave a return character at the end it reports, "file not found".

Haven't they heard of perl for fixing things like that ...

Hunh, they did fix the "Quicktime" link here which now goes to the right place. I sent them a message about this two or three days ago.

But I still can't see the link in the page above and I can't stream any movies trailers.

Only the link provided works, thanks Captain Code !!!
