Well, yes and no... Depending on just how sure you want to be, and who your potential clients are. True story: A company I used to work for got a job from a major corporate client, who wanted an internal Cd-Rom presentation, which included a video. They mainly had PCs but also wanted it to be Mac compatible. That company had an odd policy that nothing, NOTHING can be installed without some kind of special corporation-wide approval. They still had Windows 95 because of that, and not for lack of money. They had no QuickTime, and wouldn't install it either. So what do we do? Provide two movies: an Mpeg using DirectMedia for the PC and a QuickTime for the mac. Then I (as the programmer) used platform sniffer script and loaded an external castlib accordingly. The windows castlib had the Mpeg as a DirectMedia Xtra cast member and the mac castlib had the link to the Quicktime. Why? Having the DirectMedia Xtra cast member on the mac produces an error (any Tabuleiro people following this thread? ;) This might be an overkill, but for this project nothing else could do the trick. For most cases, you'd probably be safe with QuickTime, and for PC-only I'd recommend DirectMedia (but not MpegXtra3, it's outdated and provides limited OS support).
