I have a .mov file I am trying to play and it just hangs when I try to play it. What techniques/tools can I use to see why it won't work? The link is here: http://confreaks.net/system/assets/data ... 1317864971

Thanks

ffmpeg is a good free tool. If you run ffmpeg on your stream, it says

    Stream #0.0(eng): Video: h264 (Main), yuv420p, 1280x720, 960 kb/s, 29.97 fps, 29.97 tbr, 2997 tbn, 5994 tbc

The first thing to check are the video and audio codecs. In this case the audio is PCM which is not supported.
