just tested with an MP4 video file that has ugly colors when played  
in QT Player,
but looked fine in WMP. Prtobably encoded with an MS own MP4 codec,  
luv it!

The same ugly colors in Rev!
Then i did:

1. Quit Rev
2. Restarted Rev.
3. Immediately "set the dontuseqt to true" in the MSG
4. Created a new player and set its filename to the above
mentioned MP4 file
5. Nothing happend :-/, not even an image appeared
6. Set the filename to an MPG (1) file
7. Rev crashed

Then did the same with MetaCard:

1. Quit MC
2. Restarted MC.
3. Immediately "set the dontuseqt to true" in the MSG
4. Created a new player and set its filename to the above
mentioned MP4 file
5. File played with ugly colors as mentioned above :-/
6. Just for fun set the controller to true (QT specific feature!)
7. QT (sic!) CONTROLLER appeared!!!!!
8. Big fun :-/

Looks like there is something wrong with "set the dontuseqt to true".
I did not try to check the qtversion, but according to godzilla this  
is still
not fixed.

Well...

Hope they will support Windows Media in the next version!
