The book clip

The other day I mentioned that I really enjoyed the latest Family Guy episode featuring this clip. The clip where Stewie is giving Brian advice on how he can use his real life experience on a reality TV program for “The book he’s workin’ on”.

Here is the clip, I chopped it out of the episode.

Update: Question: If you are a video geek, please download the above clip and tell me why it works for some people and not for all. I am on Mac OS X 10.4 with QT7 installed and it works perfectly within Safari. My wife’s computer is Windows XP with Firefox and QT6 (I think) and it works find on her’s. I have no idea why some people, even those running the latest version of Tiger, get audio and no video. I downloaded this episode using Bittorrent (as an AVI), and clipped it using QuickTime 7 Pro. Easy peezy lemon squeezy.

Update 2: Chris J. Davis was kind enough to do some research, and he figured it out.
