Introduction to QuickTime 3 for Windows Programmers
This manual is a programmer's introduction to QuickTime, version 3.0, for the Windows platform. QuickTime is Apple Computer's industry-standard software architecture for creating, editing, and presenting digital media on personal computers. Originally developed for the Mac OS platform, QuickTime is now available to developers for the 32-bit Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 platforms as well, via the QuickTime 3 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows.
If you are a Windows developer, the SDK allows you to incorporate QuickTime capabilities into your applications developed directly for the Windows platform. If you are a Macintosh developer with a working QuickTime application, the SDK provides you with the tools you need to port your application successfully to Windows.
