QTW 03 - Cross-Platform Issues, Conditions for Playing Macintosh Movies on Windows (1-May-95)
Q Are there any differences different between Windows movies and
Macintosh movies? How can we get Macintosh movies to play on Windows?
A There's no difference between Macintosh and Windows movies. The conditions that
need to be met to get Macintosh movies to play on Windows are:
* The movie must be self-contained.
* The movie must be in a single-fork file.
No limitations apply other than these. We've successfully converted movies
using Movie Converter in the QuickTime Developer Toolkit.
