Unsupported Media Type

I am running the new version 7.6 of QuickTime for Windows, and I get the error message "Unsupported Media Type" when I try to watch the 2009 Macworld Keynote of Mr. Schiller, both for the normal and the HD version.

What could be the problem?

Lenovo X61s, Windows Vista

According to Penstate ITS Streaming Service

"If a movie is not saved with a "hinted" track for streaming, it will not stream in the browser. An error of "unsupported media type" or "disconnected" may appear in the QT player plugin within the browser. The movie must be deleted from the server and a hinted track added to the movie. This can be done using QuickTime Player Pro. Export it from QuickTime Player Pro as "Movie to Hinted Movie", then re-upload it to the server."

If this is true and it looks like they know what they are talking about, then Apple is being very slack in not fixing it. Are you listening Apple. Fix the broken Macworld 2009 movie please!
