HI to all and particular thanks to Amadeus W. M. for your patience and
direction on the codec files and other bits and pieces..
Well - I found success to my problem which simply was the installation
of a file called "mediaplayerconnectivity" found in
Mozilla>tools>extensions. I search for and installed that file and
BINGO!! The video stuff now works perfectly through Mozzila. And
everything still works fine in Konqueror as well.
So that is it. I will send another note to the 'list' as well,
detailing this find..
Thanks again..

I'm a little lost on finding the
"mediaplayerconnectivity"
I went to the;
Mozilla>tools>extensions site and couldn't find a
"mediaplayerconnectivity
Could you please be a lot more precist.
Thanks
