The files are standard QuickTime movies generated by QuickTime with its
default settings for platform compatiblity. All you need to do to get data
fork only movies (those that play on e.g. Windows) is to open the movie in
the movie player and save it as flat movie (please see the Movie Player docs
on how to do so).
