PDFs in QT Player -- Hot Links Challenge

[Sivakatirswami]

Aiyo! (Lamentations)

  Windows won't play PDFs in QT...

  Richard: did that windows machine have QT 7 for Windows loaded?

I'm sure you know this already but Apple just released QT with H.264  
format capabilities for Windows just a few weeks ago... so I just  
wanted to check if this was happening in the latest QT,

Dan: in the top of the open dialog box when clicking the browse  
button in a Rev QT Player, it defaults to "QuickTime Movie",  just  
choose "All Files"  and then the PDF files will be available as a  
file choice (OSX).

But the "not on Windows"  really a show stopper for this project.  We  
will call our friends at Apple tomorrow and beg!
