The site says it requires Safari 4 or later, so I am guessing something about the Quicktime plugin in Chrome does not work with the video. You are going to need to use Safari.

Thanx but how can it be possible that Chrome (which is a more advanced browser than Safari) cannot be able to manage quicktime videos? Can it be a matter of an equivalent plugin?

Chrome can use QT though... you can see here on my install of Chrome the QT plugin is available and enabled.

It could just be something Apple did on the site to make it Safari only. I don't really know.

Edit: I just went to the events site in Chrome and it works for me. Maybe you don't have the Chrome plugin installed, although a default OS X install includes it? I got a bar at the top asking if I wanted to allow the QT plugin to run on that site, and after I approved it the video worked.

chrome:plugins

Enter this in the address bar and see if it is listed there.

You should be able to see the QT plugin in this folder.

/Library/Internet Plug-Ins

Thanx, well it seems that Qtime is there, but is this (Version: 7.6.6) the latest version though?

Mine seems newer, but that may be because I am on Mavs. I would think the earlier version would still work though.

For the sole purpose of watching the keynote, are you that against using Safari? According to Apple's website you need Safari 4 or higher. To save yourself any extra hassle, just use Safari.

Well yes you are absolutely right, its just that i like the idea of having one thing for all and not switch between many to get my job done
