Q I'm trying to create a QuickTime movie on my Macintosh and play it
on a PC using the standard QuickTime Play Movie application that came with
QuickTime for Windows. I get the message, "Movie X contains a data reference.
Data references aren't supported by the current version of QuickTime for
Windows," even after flattening the file and removing file dependencies. What
do I have to do to eliminate these data references and build movies that I can
play on the PC?
A This problem occurs when Macintosh QuickTime 1.0 or its utilities
are used to create the movies. The solution is to edit (or create) the QTW.INI file to
include the following lines:
[Override]
DREF = no
This should force QuickTime for Windows to look in the file for the data. A
better solution is to update your Macintosh software to the latest QuickTime
extension and related utilities.
