cool hack to make the MPeg42 codec work in the NetShow 2.0 client, sorry I
cant say that is supported but if it works,....c'est la vie

We are working on another release as you struggle with beta1.  As far as
when if I give you a date and we dont hit it then you will hold me to it <G>
but I will say our plans are for a beta2 very very soon. You just might be
able to naw on a turkey leg while you are installing.

"As far as if they dont know it now they never will"  Never assume that we
know. Unless you are specifically told or find documentation to the effect
that the specific problem is known alway err on the side of over
communication rather than no communication. (Never assume that someone else
has already provided the report)

Well, if they don't know by now, they never will! ;) I don't have the energy
to list all the bugbears in that app - ouch!. Pls illuminate what's
happening on the MacMediaPlayer development front. Is this app being written
by MS or by another party with MS's assistance/support?  What's a realistic
release date for a real working Player?

BTW - I discovered some interesting things about player installs on MacOS
today:

1. Install only the Netshow Player v2 - no MPEG4v2 playback ... ok ... no
surprises.
2. Then, install Media Player 3.?beta - still no MPEG4v2 playback ... huh?
3. Trash the Media Player folder - NOT the Netshow Player folder.
4. Netscape Player 2.0 plays MPEG4v2!!!  aha!

Associations for ASF will be broken but you can reinstate them by d-clicking
on an ASF file and manually re-establishing the default ASF-app association
to Netshow Player via the MacOS dialogue. Worked for me!  What gets changed
in the Media Player install is the MPG4 OS extension (plus the addition of a
few other codecs). I've extracted the extension, stuffed it up and am making
it available via FTP to clients who need MacOS MPEG4v2 functionality. Don't
know if the individual codecs are (still?) downloadable from MS - any clues?
