MacHTTP: QuickTime

Serving QuickTime Moovies

QuickTime movies must be "flattened" or "self-contained" with "no" resource fork.

Viewing QuickTime Moovies

X-Windows

xanim

Microsoft Windows

You need Apple's QuickTime Player for Windows to see QuickTime .moovs on a PC.

Speed

Apparently, QuickTime has faster playback than MPEG. Sparkle2.0 has the capability to convert QuickTime to MPEG. You may want Apple's Thread Manager to speed up the process.

Samples

Robert Lentz has a sample movie available at http://www.astro.nwu.edu/lentz/test.html
"This is an 80K QuickTime movie of a strange attractor (I believe that is what the Readme said). It came pre-flattened, so the MPEG conversion was from a flattened movie (not that this should make a difference). It is notable that in this case the MPEG wound up being almost twice as large as the QT (156K for the MPEG) and of seriously lesser quality (with the default conversion settings)."
