Can I add a quicktime movie attachment?

[Rebecca]

I could explain a concept with a quicktime clip from my dvd. It would be about 30 seconds long. I can make it small.
If I can upload this format, it would save me time explaining things.

You certainly have permission to upload anything that you can. Is it physically possible? I have no idea. I'm sure gpathy knows. If you try it, we will all know.

[Rebecca]

I just tried it, and it was rejected. I got the impression that the admin can add allowed formats. Yes? No?
The format is .mov

[Russ]

I searched around the admin control panel (several pages of buttons, the majority of which I dare not monkey with) but did not find anything that specified which types of attachments are allowed. Perhaps gpathy will be able to set us straight; he's the custodian with the brains. I'm the one with the broom and a bucket of sawdust.

If all else fails, I'm sure you can link to it if it resides somewhere else on the web.

[Rebecca]

Yeah, I could link to it, but I normally use flickr which has a nudity prohibition, and this particular movie has virtual nudity.
I dread having to look for new places to post quicktime movies, as they will all be puritanical.

Ok.. Russ, with that kind of expectation and the opportunity to see Rebecca's teaching in action.. this does get the attention ...

[gpathy]

Testing this... if you see the movie then it works..
