I'm using Safari on a Mac, I'm trying to view the Quicktime version of a film at Atom Films. Their detection software fails to detect that I have Quicktime 6 installed and demands that I download it before it'll let me. It does think I have Realplayer, but it won't let me just open a URL that Realplayer will handle, no, it insists on running it embedded. Which doesn't work, because Realplayer doesn't want to embed in Safari... so why did it think I had Realplayer? What was it detecting? In fact... the only embedded player I have installed is... Quicktime 6.
