Re: lingo-l MPEG1 files on a MAC

Just a quick question. I want to play MPEG1 files on a MAC as I have
limited space.


Not addressing your question, but that is strange argument. If 
space is of concern, Sorenson would yield better quality/size ratio.

I have a hunch that Tabuleiro is working on a Xplat Xtra. May be 
worth checking out.

Will it play Sorenson movies without QuickTime being installed on the PC?



Just a word of warning! If you're aiming at cross platform it might 
be a good idea to avoid Sorensson.

I (and some other people I've been talking to) am experiencing 
problems playing Sorenson files on Win/ Quicktime 5  6. I get 
stuttering sound or stuttering video, different problems on different 
machines.

I think I will have to render it as Motion JPEG 2 to get it to work 
(?) The files do, however, play very smoothly on Mac.

Well said.
For this reason I've been avoiding QT on Windows since QT 4, the last workable 
version, in my opinion.
Disabling Direct Draw helps, but is not an acceptable option.

It's strange, though: it works on some machines but not on others. 
Over here a Dell laptop plays fine, a Dell desktop does not. Both 
machines latest quicktime, hardware less than 6 months old.

BTW, what do you use instead of QT - what playback utility and what 
file format?
