In summary, to watch streaming seminars on the Perimeter Institute's website using an Apple Mac, it is recommended to use a different media player such as QuickTime or VLC. If problems persist, contacting technical support at support@perimeterinstitute.ca is advised for further assistance.

I do not know who to contact at the Perimeter Institute in Waterloo, so I though I would ask the question here.

How can someone with a Apple Mac, like me watch the streaming seminars?

Everytime I try watching any of the video's with window's media player, I get an error message saying that "The playlist format is not recognized"

Apparently it is a known problem, something to do with the source of the files?

Its only with files from the Premier Inst., which _I am currently having problems with, but like I said I do not know who to contact.

Regards
