[Mediawiki-l] More video stuff (Quicktime)...

Fri Feb 23 21:11:21 UTC 2007

My my, what one little question can start... :-)

I just need to use video to illustrate things in _MEDIA_ wiki :-), so 
I'm hoping for an easy solution. For some reason, enabling the raw 
<html> markup isn't working for me. I may just write a quick extension 
by copying and modifying the gflash one. Wish I actually knew PHP :-)
