I can't stand the complaints every time I post an animation about it
being in quicktime format. Is there any way to encode an animation in
just plain mpeg, non-quicktime format on a mac? I haven't found a way
so far. I know quicktime exports into avi format. Would people be
content with this? Thanks.

There is nothing wrong with posting QuickTime if it is compressed small
enough and doesn't waste space like some i.e. AVI movies would. Just ignore
the complaints and use a subject line like "My animation (800 KB,
QuickTime)" so people who don't have QT can just skip over it (I have not
checked, maybe you already do so).
I suspect this is the major problem because a lot of people still have slow
connections and downloading something big just to find out that they don't
have the player they need installed is very frustrating. If there are
people who still complain then, post here again and I will lobby for some
official action.

Please use html reader. I don't know reason why they changed extension. Perhaps
it is dynamically generated html.

Microsoft IIS. I guess it doesn't have .htp registered, so it's sending it saying
"Here's some generic raw bytes, deal with it".

I was using an html reader. Netscape. I used MSIE 4.5 and it got the
page just fine. I don't know what kind of standard htp is.

Well, there's an htp HTML preproccesor, which could be generating that.
http://www.eda.bg/docs/packages/htp/
The problem is because the server is misconfigured and saying the page is
"application/octet-stream", which means 'raw binary data that should be saved
somewhere'.
MSIE violates all the standards and instead looks inside the contents and says
"hmmm. I think this looks like it's really HTML, I think I'll change and ignore what
the server just told me". That's probably due in part to Microsoft tools and servers
being so broken, and the broken Spyglass Mosaic that was the original MSIE...
So, instead of fixing the broken server, the person admining it or changing it was
probably using MSIE instead of some standards-compliant browser, and had his error
hidden from him so that he didn't know it was there and needed to be fixed.
Ahh. Their main site is all Flash. Another sign of sloppy web design and admin.
Sigh.
Gee, their .asp pages seem to be served from that IIS fine. Hmmmm... I wonder why
the proprietary Microsoft content works easily on the Microsoft server, but that
other content doesn't. Hmmmmmm....
