The thing to remember with using QT videos is that you need to start out authoring with them in the location you intend to publish them in. In other words, if you intend to have all of the QT videos on the CD in a subdirectory called "media" under the directory in which the projector is located, then when you originally import them into Director to begin authoring, you need to have them in a subdirectory called "media" under the directory your .dir file is in. That way, when you move them to the CD for the final product, the relative path to your projector is the same as it was to your authoring file.

I found that a projector that I had created looked very ugly on another computer. It was set at 256 colors. I had used a reverse background which did not appear at all and the color was missing. When I searched the Lingo-l archives and Direct-L archives, I could not find anything. Maybe I am wrong and nobody modifies the end-user settings? Short of re-doing the whole piece of work? Another thing - I used QT movies in my movie. When an .exe file is created, QT files need to accompany this. I actually placed my QT movies in a folder. And every time the movie reached a screen where a QT movie was required, the box saying where is this file to be found opens up. I have to tell the computer to look into the accompanying file every time. How do I not allow it to open in a projector? It looks very terrible in a presentation. TIA. Noelle.
