Well, all current versions of QuickTime produce flat movies by default.  And
the default configuration of Fetch used to be that it automatically binhexes
files with a resource fork.  Apart from that, he is talking about MPEG-4
files, so this should not be the issue anyway.  However, fact is that even
current versions of the two most popular web servers do not come with an
MPEG-4 content-type setting for files with an MPEG-4 file extension...
