Hi Steve,
I'm creating Rev standalones containing movies, for both Mac and Windows, to be distributed on CDs. I create the Rev standalones on a Mac, incorporating Quicktime movies. Since many Windows users do not have Quicktime installed on their computers, I include a Quicktime installer on the CD, but this seems to be unnecessary for Macs, since Macs come with Quicktime preinstalled. My question is this: Apple requires that they receive an application for permission to include their Quicktime installer, and they also require placement of their Quicktime logo on the CD label if a Quicktime installer is included. Can all of this be avoided, including the necessity of including the Quicktime installer, by making the Windows version of the standalones using AVI format? Do all Windows computers come with AVI reading capabilities preinstalled? Would there be any drawback to using AVI rather than MOV format? Thanks.
Just like the MOV format, AVI is just a container for many different codecs!
So it depends on the codec you use to compress your AVI files. BUT! Starting with Rev 2.7.x the engine automatically loads QT (if present) so setting "dontuseqt to true" will not have any effect! (BTW, has this "clever" behaviour already been bugzillaed?) And if the user has an older version of QT installed, this might not be compatibvle with the codes you use in your QT movies resp. in the AVI files. A tiny vicious circle :-/
