You will have to "flatten" the movie into one file. This can be done very
easily with an app called FlattenMooV, found on the info-mac archives.
For your nearest link, try ftp.sunet.se.

The file won't display correctly (or more accurately, not at all) when
transferred in it's present state. You *have* to flatten it first. Then I
guess you should be able to view it using any viewer on the Mac and using
a QT compatible viewer on the PC.
