Big Sur bugs

No, however, I am running Big Sur in a Virtual Box VM under macOS 
Mojave. All other Big Sur features and functions appear to work fine in 
the VM (we just can not afford Apple hardware for every version of their 
OS from Mavericks to Big Sur. VM's are a lot more versatile as they can 
be clones, snapshotted, and restored when things get messed up)

If I try to just double click on the video under Big Sure, it opens the 
Quicktime Player (?) and I get a "unknown error occurred (-101).

I am glad to hear it is working for you Panos - very glad. Both our 
commercial apps depend on the player object and I was in a panic! I'd 
ask anyone following this thread to please take time to test media under 
Big Sur.

I would be ecstatic to learn in is a VM issue. We'll then move to our 
backup of installing on a partition for a dual (actually more than dual 
as we have about 5 version of macOS each on its own partition) boot system.
