Hi

Firstly, for those looking for the largest image and best quality trailer, 
download the Hi-Res Quicktime version - just under 10MB (I managed to drink a 
coffee during the download on my 56k modem - but it's worth the wait).
 
> Okay, I first went to the Warner Bros. site.  I heard the audio clearly,
 but the visual was really a series of "choppy" stills.  There were parts
 that I later saw on QuickTime that weren't on the first Real Player
 version that I saw.
 
Real & Windows Media versions use far more compression than QuickTime, and 
thus the downloads are quicker, but the images are not as fluid.  Don't try 
to STREAM the files, try instead to download the full .RM file in the case of 
Real, or MOV file for Quicktime.

> Here's my question: I've tried the QuickTime version on Warner Bros. and
 now on Darkhorizons.  Neither version has any audio going. 

The WBros QuickTime version does have audio... so check you have your 
soundcard set up correctly.  If you are trying to watch it LIVE (streaming) 
then don't... download the file instead, then you should get the audio.

> My speakers are working, and like I said, I heard it all on the RealPlayer 
version.
 So, why no sound on the QuickTime versions?  Now that I've taken the
 time to download the high resolution QuickTime version (which is
 *phenomenal* btw -- Cassie, if you didn't figure out how to pause it on
 Draco, email me -- with this you can).  But, I want the audio *and* the
 video together now!  Help!!
 
Strange... check your QuickTime settings... if using Windows, it's found in 
Control Panel.  Makesure RealPlayer and any other applications using sound 
are not running, especially things like ICQ Telephone.

If there are still problems... try downloading the latest version of 
QuickTime Player.

Hope that helps.

Nick.
