And I'm one of the 8.6 percent using something else. OpenVMS actually. I use some of the others from time to time as well. What really irritated me was when I installed quicktime it insisted on installing an itunes helper NO THANKS VERY MUCH I DO STUFF MY OWN WAY YOU INTERFERING BIT OF ..... And it still doesn't work. I'll try the links for the other players but how much do I have to load a windows box just to display content? It is all well and good, but the majority of the programs are unstable, incompatible with others you have installed for other genuine tasks, add to instability, slow the whole thing down even further when starting up, it's lunacy. Now I also have something attempting to content manage my own personal stuff. Much as I hate the M$ borg, by and large its functional. When looking for a portable music player, I've gone for an SPV which is a cellphone that runs windows. I can drag, drop, and do other fun things (like satellite navigation). It is windows media focused, but also plays the generic MP3 stuff too, so then I'm out and about, I've got the opportunity to see and hear within a popular format range, and of course Yello is included in my library of standard formats. It is not terrific as a telephone, but more convenient that having to some some form of compressed media device and a phone. I make my own MP3s from my own original copies, drag, drop, and enjoy at will. A big difference from years ago, finding a good portable cassette which had Dolby on it, recording my own vinyl, and carrying several cassettes. I found "portable CD" too cumbersome so never went there. My next move (for the automotive) will be a player with an SD slot for standard MP3s (presently its MD LP). I just wonder if the spirit of my Yello on cassette from vinyl compilations (from 20 years ago) retain the same excitement in these new formats. Nic.

There are free players for all these operating systems to allow them to watch H.264 content beautifully.
That comes to a grand total of 91.4% of the computer users in the world can view H.264 content with no problem. So the files I am putting up are available to over 90% of the computer world. I'm sorry but that sounds pretty good to me.
Please if there is anyone still having trouble watching these files please e-mail me, or is organism the only one?
