Have to admit that that is a pretty "1995" way of thinking. Actually the site itself worls perfect on a Mac, as well as the video's and webcam feeds.
The fact is that there is no "Mac friendly". There are rules and guides for making html, and if you follow those rules, the site will work in any browser, on any platform. When you start breaking the rules, more and more browsers will have problems with the site, except for IE, which opens sites anyway. While this sounds like a good thing, it actually is a very bad thing. It is also the reason why people can exploid your computer in the first place, because IE ignores the rules and opens all sites, even when the html doesn't follow the rules. So as long as you follow the rules, you don't have to worry about your users having a Mac, Linux or Windows.
The only negative I could find about FTV is the quality of the video's. Since they are in WMV format, they can look pretty horrible, especially when the image moves fast, or has a lot of detail ( like scenes at the pool ), the image quality drops dramaticly, creating lots of blocks. This is 99% the fault of WMV. It lacks the modern compression and motion estemation techniques, techniques that are present in H.264 and other modern types. This was also te biggest reason for me to cancel my membership at FTV. What's the use of 8000 kb/s FullHD video's when they have 8 by 8 pixel blocks in them half the time...?
