Hello all, I am new to Revolution and Quicktime-Video. I have read the archives, but still unsure about the right way for video. I produce offline content, distributed on CD / DVD-ROM
1. With Revolution build-in player I can only play .mov - right? 2. As mov is only a container format I know that I can use different codecs with mov. Best results when testing produced the Sorenson 3 codec. I tested also with SorensonTM ( little less), Apple MPEG 4 (almost as good), Apple Cinepac (bad quality) and Apple Planar (best quality but incredible giant file size). My question is, which codec comes with Quicktime installer, or what codec can I assume on customer machine? 4. Are there differences of quicktime installation between Apple and Windows, beside quicktime on apple is preinstalled? 5. If e.g. the Sorenson codec doesn't come with Quicktime, can I install the Sorenson codec additional to quicktime on customer machine and quicktime will grab it, if I encoded my mov with Sorenson? 6. I encoded movs on one of my machines and playing on the other machine showed only "LSD-like colored blur", though on both machines quicktime 7.1.3 (Windows) is installed. So there are obvious more factors, as quicktime version and codec to harmonize - what? 7. Which codec is the best approach with best quality and best compatibility when using mov? 8. As I have read on Apples quicktime site, I need an agreement from Apple to distribute the player with my application and have to put their logo on my product. Do you have any experiences with that procedure and restriction? 9. Did anyone tried to play avi or swf in revolution. I am not yet so far to use a shell execute, but I could think that could be an approach. But I don't know, if you have the chance to use controls / methods with a called exe, so that I can control an external player from within revolution (stop, pause,play,step, get mediastatus,.) Lots of questions, I hope not too much Thanks for any experience sharing Tiemo _______________________________________________ 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
