- Indeo(TM) Video R3.2 V3.22/QuickTime Update -- 3.22.21.02
- August 15, 1994
-
- This software update is being made available to provide users the latest
- Indeo(TM) Video Codec for compressing, editing and playing back video on
- your desktop computer, using Apple's QuickTime software.
-
- If you get this file from a non Macintosh computer, the file will
- be encoded as a MacBinary file called I322QT.BIN. After converting from
- MacBinary, the file will be named "Indeo(TM) Video R3.2 V3.22." See MacBinary
- conversion notes at the end of this document.
-
- This version is an update to the Indeo Video R3.2 release contained on
- Apple's QuickTime 2.0 Software Developers Kit CD.
-
- This software will install the latest Indeo Video QuickTime component,
- version V3.22.21.02, that works in QuickTime versions 1.6.1 and 2.0.
-
- Also included in this release, for the first time, is the latest Intel Raw
- Codec that works in QuickTime. This Codec provides the capability to
- decode video files captured with the Intel Smart Video Recorder that
- operates under Windows. QuickTime MooV files can be compressed into
- this format as well.
-
- Improvements/Differences From V3.20.21.03
- ----------------------------------------
- * The compressor algorithm has been updated from R3.20 to R3.22.
- The new algorithm produces higher quality video with more accurate
- data rate control. In addition, the maximum size movie that can
- be compressed has been increased from 320x240 to 640x480.
-
- * This is the first release where an Intel Raw Codec is being distributed with
- the latest Indeo Video codec technology. With this additional codec, a more
- complete cross-platform development solution is provided. Intel Raw
- compressed video files can be created on either Video for Windows (VfW) or
- QuickTime platforms and recompressed into Indeo Video on either platform
- as well. See the Read Me file included with this release for more information
- on the Intel Raw compression format.
-
- * Both 'iv32' and 'IV32' are recognized as Indeo R3.2 movie formats.
- This is for compatibility with some Video for Windows to QuickTime
- translators that produce lower case format signatures.
-
- * Memory allocation for large decompressor tables is handled more
- intelligently.
-
- * Playback has been sped up for various depths of gray-level output.
-
- * Decompressor bug fix: movies whose width was greater than 320 but less
- than 640 could not be decompressed correctly.

- MakeItMooV -- V1.2
-
- This application changes the type and creator of a file to "MooV" and
- "TVOD" respectively. The former allows the file to be recognized as
- a movie file by all QuickTime applications; the latter causes the
- MoviePlayer to be the default application for opening the file.
-
- This utility is useful when importing movies from non-Macintosh
- environments (QuickTime for Windows), in which they are not assigned
- appropriate Macintosh file types or creators.
-
- Double-click on the MakeItMooV icon for further information and usage
- instructions.

- MacBinary Conversion Notes:
- -------------------------
- When this software is distributed on non-Macintosh computers, it must be
- first converted into a format that allows Macintosh two fork files to be
- read and written as a single fork file. There is a standard for this type of
- conversion, MacBinary. The encoding conversion, which takes place on a Mac,
- combines the two file forks into one with header information prepended for
- later decoding. Files that have been encoded into MacBinary usually have the
- '.bin' file extension. After encoding, these files can be transported through
- DOS or Unix computers. When they arrive back on a Macintosh computer, they
- need to be decoded back into normal two fork Macintosh files. This decoding
- can be done by several commercial and shareware applications. The StuffIt
- Deluxe and StuffIt Lite versions 3.0.6 (or later) programs can decode
- MacBinary files. Use the Translate menu, not File Open, to perform this
- decoding. Two other shareware applications that do this decoding are
- available on Compuserve and Internet FTP archives:
