Default TIA and Mac?

I am considering getting a macbook. Does everything on TIA work with mac? ( I would assume so, since the videos are quicktime, but just want to be sure before I purchase a computer)

I did a seminar on a Mac G5 (OS10, of course, using Safari) - had no problem.

Several customers have used Macs and have had no problems to my knowledge. In fact, I think they experienced better performance because they were forced to use QuickTime, which works much better than Windows Media.

I have looked at the videos both with Quicktime on the Mac G5 and in Windows Media on a Windows XP box, and the QT was definitely the better option.
