Have always been impressed with the quality of the tuition videos on Digital Photo Magazine, but alas since I changed my browser to Mozilla Firefox, I am unable to view the video's, unless I go to my computer/explore disc/right click /open with/ WM11 , where as before I could view straight from video lessons screen, any tips gratefully received, they used to work perfect with various I.E., but I wish to stay with Firefox .
I've done Options/contents/manage/ but alas these are the only ones on available. ASX, WM, WMA, WAX, WMV, WVX.
Hope this is the right forum.

I copy the tutorials from the disk to my hard drive then use PowerDVD to watch them (as media player doesn't like them), i find it much easier than the web interface the disc uses.

Then just name them something a bit more meaningful and put what months issue there from so if theres any images supplied with a certain tutorial i can find them easy.

Thanks for the input stupot, even more food for thought, so Firefox isn't the one for Digital Photo tutorials.

you can open AVI with firefox, you need the quicktime plugin version 7.1.6...

[Angus]

Alas just downloaded the quicktime & installed, to no avail, will go for the moment with stupot, and put on spare hardrive. Thanks anyway for the input.

This will most likely be a file association issue from within windows. You'll just need to tell windows which program to use to view them. It may even be a combination of programs as with JMitchell saying they work once you have the QT plugin you'll need to check that QT also has the correct permissions.

In QT its file>options>file associations and mime types...make sure the tick boxes for the correct file types are checked.

In windows right click on the file>properties>open with> then select either Firefox (should work automatically that way) or if not use Quicktime. Then place a tick in the 'always use this program to open this file type'

Hopefully that should solve the issue

Thanks Steve.
Have been in touch with Digital Photo Tech Staff, they said there was a big problem with their software working with Mozilla, never mind it is the only problem that I have encountered with Firefox, so will open them from root directory or save to harddrive (spare) for future reference.
