you should try set the filetype before you "spit out" the custom property: ... ## No need to check for platform, this does nothing on Windows: set the filetype to "mp42" ## Hope my memory serves me right :-) put the mystoredVideo of stack myStack into URL "binfile:myPath/myVideo.mp4" ... At least worth a try. Obviously "the filetype" thing is still not compeltely deprecated by Apple. > Tiemo Best Klaus -- Klaus Major http://www.major-k.de kl...@major-k.de _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
