No - officially 16Mb of RAM for QT 4.1.2 We have had some problems with
playing movies originally in Autodesk FLC format - one or two freezes there
even with 128Mb of RAM. But mostly they play fine. How big are the
movies? - tossing them all into RAM may be a problem. Over-speedy
decompression seems to be the root of it all. We (Dave Cragg and I) are
still experimenting. And what platform? Latest crash was on Windows 98,
but we had some early crashes on the Mac (with 193Mb of RAM!) because of
doing things on preOpenCard, so I stopped that. Only do things in or after
openCard. Dave may have more to say.
>Q2. Do different codecs require different amounts of RAM?
No idea. MoviePlayer won't play FLC movies (MS bug) , so we haven't
bothered exporting seriously to .avi
