(you'll have to figure out what level of sharing or privacy you want to manage.) from google docs you can export into another format. not sure you can do that with video files. at the least, this should be a way for you to post/share your MOV files. i don’t have a magic bullet, but maybe a work-around. i have used google docs or youtube as a place where i can upload a file that i can’t view. and then view it in google docs or on youtube.

I have a Mac Book Pro 17” and about 6 months ago my rear projection TV crapped out. Rather than go out and buy a new TV, I hooked up my lap top to my 30" flat panel display and set both on my coffee table. Now I don't need a regular TV. Watching 24, Lie to Me, and House on the computer is great. I have Comcast’s high-speed internet but I will have not and will not renew the cable portion of the package. My wife is happy because the once $100+ cable bill is not cut in half. We ended up subscribing to Netflix, but will soon cancel, because the movie rental experience with iTunes is second to none. The only thing that I’m missing is watching sports on TV, but hell, I’ll go out to a bar with a buddy for that. (Go Hawks!!!) The quality with Fox, Hulu and ABC media players is so awesome that we'll never go back to cable. F-Cable. I can attest to great online video experience from the Fox site.

If Fox can't write software that works in FireFox, then Fox simply can't write software. I don’t see ANY reason to use IE except in some sort of emergency.

I just installed it in internet explorer (saved and then ran the installation) the media player works, but only in internet explorer not firefox, not sure why...but if you can't get firefox to install try IE, i had to ignore the threats from my anti spyware program...kept warning me about cookies when ever I open a video **I installed it from FOX.com and tried ABC.com but it say's I need to install it again to watch the ABC shows... it will probably work once I install on both sites (but I'm pretty sure if it's the same player installation it shouldn't be necessary) Honestly these sites should care bc they're losing business I tried downloading this player a few months ago and usually watch them on hulu or somewhere else bc I couldn't get the installation- I'm only watching on the site now bc 2 shows I watch are probably getting canceled and I'm hoping that by using the Fox media player the Fox will see that there is a large internet audience I tired several times in firefox with no luck.

Seriously. "I'm going to ditch my cable". That is laughable. After viewing one video? Are you going to ditch your laptop after view a bluray? If you guys are not advertising plants I will quit my job as a lie detector. What could Fox be doing that hasn't been thought of or patented? Nothing except making it impossible for you to view their videos without them tracking your habits and spying on your computer. Plllllzzzzzzzzzz. I got scrubland in New Mexico that has water....really....lots of water. Lispman and Chris must be plants. Seriously. “I’m going to ditch my cable”. That is laughable. After viewing one video?

I found the quality to be excellent! In fact, I was considering ditching my cable TV to save money, but the media players were so bad I knew I would be dissappointed. Watching 24 on Fox was great. I would drop cable TV altogether or least go with basic cable if I could this quality video on a regular basis. FYI, I have Comcast. Dudes! I found the quality to be excellent!
