I agree with Rich regarding NT - and I myself develop using Director under
NT. I am not too sure about the performance issues that were mentioned as a
result of the machines being older as I use NT because 95/98 don't support
dual processors properly.
So far as sound and video are concerned - I would definitaly recommend using
QT3 and the QT3Mix sound device. It is lower latency than MacroMix and it
supports more channels of audio better - plus making sure they have QT3+ on
their machine means that video playback is guaranteed. The latest and
greatest DirectSound sound device can - as far as I am aware - not be used
under NT as it requires a newer version of DirectX to be installed than
Microsoft have chosen to support - It is a nightmare really but careful use
of sound etc. can work well - have you considered the Beatnik Xtra for audio
playback? www.beatnik.com
Otherwise NT is (almost) the same as 98 in terms of Director projects...
Hope this is of help,
Sam and the Elektonika team.
