revweb and videos (quicktime and youtube)

[Richard Miller]

Solved the first item. In other versions of Rev, it works fine to set 
the filename of a quicktime player to something of the form, 
"ftp://....". Doing so in a revlet will lock everything up. But when I 
switched to "http://... ", all worked fine. Streaming begins and the 
video plays fine.

I'd still like to hear thoughts on the YouTube item, though.

Thanks.
Richard
