revweb and videos (quicktime and youtube)

[Richard Miller]

Hi Klaus,

Yes, I know FLV is not directly playable in Quicktime. I am looking for 
a workaround... some way to play a YouTube video in a revlet, other than 
directly through a Quicktime player. Could be impossible. Perian looks 
to be Mac only.

Thanks.
Richard
