SMIL in Quicktime

I'll post this here, until some one tells me where is the best forum.
I have authored a SMIL using quicktime. Later I will need some advice on tweaking it, if anyone has any ideas. Basically I have used it to create a karaoke dictation exercise my English second language students can use.

It works perfectly on my machine at home.

However, in my language laboratory at work, the text region blanks out white and the "karaoke" text will not display. In fact, when I make a self-enclosed *.mov, it works at home, but displays an error that something is missing.

I've tried it on 10 or so computers. I use Win98 at home with directx 8 something. (A nice old PII I,m still not ashamed to use .)
At work, we have a ghost image of NT win 2000 with directx 9 something.

With or without Quicktime pro installed, the text region blanks out.

<smil xmlns:qt="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/smilextensions" qt:time-slider="true">
<head>
<layout>
<region id="r2" width="320" height="50" left="0" top="240" fit="fill" />
</layout>
</head>
<body>
<par>
<text region="r2" src="data:text/plain,Lived ___ ___ Sea," begin="id(song)(17s)"/>
</par>
</body>
</smil>

I've been patient waiting for my account to be accepted. I hope someone else has experience with SMIL and Quicktime ?
