Technical Q&A AMTPE18
AMT_PE and QuickTime for Windows Compatibility under Windows 95


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

Q: What is the status of AMT/PE and QuickTime compatibility under Windows 95?

A: Aside from some technical issues that are still being resolved (16-bit drivers for MoviePlayer, etc.), Apple and Microsoft are working together to meet the challenge of compatibility. We are currently finishing a 32-bit version of QuickTime for Windows that we expect to include in our next release.

The current release of AMT/AMTPE generates titles that run under Win '95. The next release will include a 32-bit version of the runtime. If you want to add additional C code, you should probably upgrade to Microsoft Visual C++ 2.1 so you can compile it in the new "flat" model.
