Technical Q&A AMTPE23
QuickTime VR Movies Won't Play in AMT


The Apple Media Tool and Apple Media Tool Programming Environment products have been discontinued. For more information check out: AMT/PE Discontinued.

Q: I have been unable to get QuickTime VR working in Apple Media Tool in anything other than the movie-preview window. My VR movies play normally in HyperCard, Director, and other VR player applications, but they won't play in Apple Media Tool. What should I do to get this to work?

A: QuickTime VR is not supported by Apple Media Tool (nor is Apple Media Tool supported by QuickTime VR) at the present time. Glue code to let Apple Media Kit call QuickTime VR XObjects needs to be written, and there's a good chance we'll do it here at Apple as sample code. This is an interim solution, since there will eventually be a non-XObject-interface to QuickTime VR, better adapted to Apple Media Tool. Apple plans to integrate that version with a future release of Apple Media Tool.
