That's why Apple includes an updated version of the previous QuickTime 7.x player as an optional install in Snow Leopard to handle all of those features. which would seem to suggest that if one authors for Mac OS 10.6 one cannot really rely on Quicktime as we on Mac 10.4 and 10.5 understand it.

Graphic speed comparison between webLets and desktop stacks
I enjoyed Ben Beaumont's presentation of planetary motion at the conference. I couldn't tell from the streaming video how smoothly the planets moved around the Sun. It was very bumpy on my screen, but most of that was surely due to the nature of streaming video. To see this for myself, I built a stack (see below) to compare the moving planets on the desktop with the webLet. We know that the speeds will change, but by how much? (By the way, I thought it was terrific. I was really impressed by how bright and articulate the presenters were. Lots of really good information.) In order to get some quantitative data I made a stack to simulate a ball (planet) moving along a set of points on a circle--see stack and web site below. In dealing with graphics (or images) moving along a set of points on a line there are three ways to cycle through the points: (1) Use a Send message in x millisec to cycle recursively through the points using x to control speed. (Asynchronous--i.e. allows for concurrent message sending) (2) Use a simple repeat loop, using a Wait x millisec between repeat to control speed (Not asynchronous) (3) Or use the Rev Move command, using the DragSpeed propterty to control speed. (Asynchronous) And there are generally two methods of moving an object from one point to the next: (A) Using the set location command (B) Using the Move command. In all of these options, the number of points on the graphic line is a potential variable and will affect the speed and the smoothness of the motion. It is the smoothness of the motion that to me is the critical factor, not too difficult to achieve on the desktop but much more difficult on the Web. I failed on the Web task. I don't know if Rev is still working on this. It is not a high priority issue at this time. Here is what I found from playing with the parameters (1, 2, 3, A, B above) using the OnWebGraphicTImer stack below: (1) Speed: The web is much faster than the desktop, as much as five and a half times faster if one uses Set Loc to cycle through the points. If one uses the Move command to move through the points THERE IS NO CHANGE in speed. I presume that Rev redefined Move to have this effect. (2) Smooth motion: On the desktop, Set Loc and Send Message In TIme is the best way to go. The synchronous repeat loop is bumpy, as it the Move command. On the Web I couldn't find any combination of parameters and modes and number of points on the line to achieve smooth motion. You can also see this bumpy motion on Rev's own Web site: http://revmedia.runrev.com/revMedia/ Notice how the Rev icon bumps along the set of line points. There is another problem intrinsic to the Move command: The speed along the points is uniform regardless of the distance between points. The speed along the entire path is governed by the MoveSpeed property. Because of this it cannot be used to deal with planetary motion (or simple projectile motion) since the planet should speed up as it nears the Sun at the focal point of the ellipse and slow down as it move away from the focal point. And of course a bouncing ball does not move with uniform speed. Someone at the conference asked about this speed issue (slow on the desktop--much faster on the web) but I couldn't hear the answer, only that it sounded like it was Kevin who responded. I suspect it must be a matter of timing of the screen refresh rate. But I have no real understanding of what goes on behind the scenes. Can anyone fill me in on what Kevin said? And it still under consideration? It is surely not a high priority at this early stage. On the Mac there has been a longstanding problem in using repeat loops to control the movement of screen objects. It is necessary to insert a forced screen refresh every time through the loop on the desktop. That problem goes away on the Web. A screen refresh is no longer needed. The stack I wrote is very busy, lots of factors to vary in order to compare all the possibilities. If you have the courage you can compare these things for yourself on the desktop using the stack: go url http://jamesphurley.on-rev.com/OnRevGraphicTimer.rev; And on the Web, go to http://jamesphurley.on-rev.com/OnRevTimer/test.html The stack is a little busy. Jim Hurley (P.S. On the third card of the stack above I added is a simulation of planetary motion. The speed is fine on the desktop and the motion is very smooth, but it is WAY too speedy on the Web. I didn't include any accommodation for the speed change on the Web. A good example of the need to do so. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

Re: Quicktime and the Snow Leopard
I've been exploring QT a lot in the past few months for a project I have in mind. And the changes from QT7 to QTX do give me cause for concern. Especially since so much of the information on QT on developer.apple.com has been marked as 'legacy'. Since Apple has spent so long building on top of QT, it probably was in need of a re-write (which appears to be what they've done). The question is what is left of the old QT, and what past functionality has been lost. Following the link on developer.apple.com for What's New in Quicktime brings one to this page: http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/whatsnew.htm , where there is absolutely zero information on QTX (in fact, there's nothing there on QT7.3 to QT7.6) . That gives me the impression of a technology that Apple does not see as relevant to developers. It seems that there are many businesses that were built around adding functionality to QT that have gone to the wall. And many books on QT can be picked up on amazon for a couple of dollars (I bought a handful myself in the last few months). I've no doubt that QT is still an important part of Apple's delivery mechanism for iTunes. But maybe they've ceded the area of multimedia delivery to Flash. It's a pity, as working with QT seems a lot easier than working with Flash. I don't think that QT can be particularly important for RunRev anyway, since there's been a long-standing bug with stacks that have QT players on them being able to have a title (http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=6235).

Ive read some reports that some things work with Quicktime X player while others not. There are a number of vertical markets (and a lot of Mac games) that utilize QTVR. Some of the new playback features of the player - to me - are non issues. Apple wants to position its products as the center of your digital lifestyle, so no stutter full screen playback should be a consistently high quality on every Apple platform, without dinking you $30 for Pro.

Re: Quicktime and the Snow Leopard
The new QuickTime Player is fairly neat, and will do most of the things that most people will need to do. For us who need to do more complex editing, or adding of multiple tracks and so on, we can install the QuickTime Player 7. As for what Rev can play back, it's probably best to just try it, on both a 10.6 machine that has had the optional QT7 install, and one that hasn't. I have it installed, so if you have any QuickTIme files you want me to try in Rev, let me know. The only things that I know of that QTX has trouble playing is .MID and QTVR. In RevMedia I can play an old QTVR panorama, a cubic QTVR, and an MOV with a MID track in it (Rev hates just MID on its own, but is fine with a MOV that has a video track and a MID track). This all suggests that Rev is using QT7 features, so I'm not sure how a machine that didn't have the optional install would get on. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

While there is something strange going on, this is not quite what I see. Sort the dictionary entries by platform and you will see a bunch of entries with no specified platform. Then there are entries labelled Linux, Mac OS X Windows which seem to be for entries that are unique to a single platform. Everything else seems to be labelled MacOS seen though they are terms used in every platform e.g. me. On a side note, I think using MacOS as a platform descriptor is confusing as people assume it applies to all Mac systems where in fact it means Mac Classic systems i.e. OS 9 or earlier.
