Safari 5.1 : no video or does not load at all
Mac OS X 10.6.8, iMac 27", Safari 5.1
Xiph successfully converted 16:9 movies (640x360) from iMovie 9'11 to .ogg. However I have problems with Xiph as a player, especially with Safari 5.1. .ogg files from Xiph QT7 or QTX --> Okay Safari -> Okay .ogv files from ffmpeg2theora (1) QT7 or QTX --> Okay Safari --> file does not load .ogv files from Miro.app (ffmpeg2theora) (2) QT7 or QTX --> Okay Safari --> file does not load .ogv files 4:3 from Miro Video Converter Windows QTX --> Okay QT7 --> sound but no video Safari --> sound but no video
Seems that Xiph Quicktime component is outdated (at least as a player) or not correctly supported by Safari 5.1. Note that Firefox 6 (which uses Xiph as a player) plays all the files tested above.
All the best
Alain
