This doesn’t have a chainsaw in it, but it’s kind of funny too!
 
hamletferrari.mov

This is the second one of these types of attachments I've seen here recently.  Both of them "do" nothing.  When I run strings against this one I get, among a little else, "DRIVE_D:HamletFerrari.mpg".  I surmise that you have a file on "drive" d named hamletferrari.mpg and that's what you should be attaching.  Just be sure it's really an MPEG data stream and not something that's been bastardized by some Microsoft codec.  That seems to be happening a lot; and because of those bastards most people don't even know they're not using formats they think they are.

Glen,
I can play the file on another computer. Maybe it’s the Quicktime version? I’m playing it on version 6.0.
I have to right click the hamletferrari.mov and save it to the hard drive to play it.
Thanks for pointing out the problem, I assumed everyone could play it. :rolleyes:
 
Just wondering why you'd need quicktime to encapsulate an mpeg?  Why not link the mpeg directly?

I don't have quicktime anyway because Apple doesn't want me to have it, but the file you'd linked has a "drive" "letter" in it, indicating use on a Windows (or other DOS-based) system; further indication provided by the presence of Microsoft's unique-to-the-computing-world "smart quotes" in your response.  Normally I can cull the URL of the real location and fetch it myself but not in these cases since the locations are specific to a private computer somewhere without indication where it is or that it's running any services for the network at large.

What's the clip about?

I received the video in an e-mail, and have since deleted it to make room in my account.

I did a quick search on the web and found this link:
