I very much appreciate the test page -

I use Macintosh extensively and have found this information for you to add to the TEST table
Macintosh OSX 10.4.x --
Safari 2.0.3 - Movie plays once then stops for methods (1, 2, 3, and 5). No play for (4 & 6).
FireFox 1.5.0.3 - Movie plays once then stops for methods (1, 2, 4 and 6).
No play for 3, which gives dialog "movie object not found. No play for 5.
Internet Explorer 5.2.3 (no longer supported by MicroSoft on Mac)
No play for any test.
