QuickTime and SMIL

Hello! I am working on a captioning project for some Web videos. We are using MAGpie <http://ncam.wgbh.org/webaccess/magpie/>; to generate the captions and the SMIL files (thanks, NCAM!). It's all pretty straightforward, but I'm having trouble getting the video/captions to play on Windows XP in either Netscape 7 or IE 6.

Here's the URL of the test page:

<http://www.dartmouth.edu/~shorton/smil/>;

and here's the SMIL code:

<smil xmlns:qt="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/smilextensions" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-smil" qt:time-slider="true" qt:autoplay="true">
<head>
<meta name="title" content="Academic Success for Dartmouth College Students: Time Management" />
<meta name="author" content="Academic Skills Center at Dartmouth College" />
<meta name="copyright" content="Dartmouth College" />
<layout>
<root-layout height="330" width="330" background-color="black" />
<region height="240" width="320" background-color="black" left="5" top="5" id="videoregion" />
<region height="60" width="320" background-color="white" left="5" top="255" id="textregion" />
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par dur="0:16:42.30">
<video alt="Time Management" dur="0:16:42.30" region="videoregion" src="rtsp://quicktime.dartmouth.edu/~cc/smil/TM.mov" />
<textstream alt="English captions for Time Management" dur="0:16:42.30" region="textregion" src="TM.txt" />
</par>
</body>
</smil>

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
