The QuickTime 3 developer documents listed below are available in PDF format.
Click on a document title to download the PDF version. You will need Adobe Acrobat 3.0
(or later) to read or print these documents. If you have the Acrobat plug-in,
the document will be displayed in this frame.
The files are also available in compressed format for faster download. The compressed PDFs
are available in both .zip and .sit format. You will need a decompressor, such as PKUnzip
or Aladdin Stuffit, to convert the compressed files to PDF.
The .sit compressed files are available in both MacBinary (.bin) and BinHex (.hqx) format.
The .bin version is much smaller. Use the .hqx version only if you experience problems
downloading in .bin format.
