Use this page to check for additions or changes to the QuickTime 3 documentation since your last visit.
7/13/98 -- The Sound Manager documentation has been reorganized. A new introduction has been added to explain which parts you probably need to read, and a list of Sound Manager functions that are not in the Windows DLL has been added.
7/9/98 -- The Sound Manager 3.3 Release Notes have been updated to include
documentation of the features added in Sound Manager 3.1 and 3.2.1.
7/2/98 -- Minor update of the Movie Data Exchange Components documentation, which was reorganized to improve its useability.
6/24/98 -- Our web site moved! The path to the QuickTime API docs is now http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/quicktime/qtdevdocs/ instead of
http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/multimedia/qtdevdocs/
That's right, multimedia is QuickTime. Please update your bookmarks.
6/15/98 -- Major update of
QuickTime 3 for Windows Programmers to include the definition of
over twenty previously undocumented functions (the PDF has been updated also).
These functions are now listed in the
Functions Index as well.
6/10/98 -- Corrected an error in the documentation of the NewMovieController function flags. To scale a movie to fit the display rectangle, with the movie controller outside of the rectangle, set both the mcTopLeftMovie flag and the mcScaleMovieToFit flags to 1.
The salient point is that the Windows DLL is a tool to provide cross-platform
compatibility of QuickTime, not a general tool for porting Macintosh applications
to Windows. All supported functions are listed in the
Functions Index.
5/11/98 -- WWDC Update -- Lots of stuff new or revised:
5/5/98 -- Minor update of the
Mac OS for QuickTime documentation,
a summary of Mac OS
API elements used by QuickTime developers and included in QuickTime for Windows.
4/28/98 -- Added a PDF of the book Mac OS for QuickTime Developers, which documents the parts
of the Mac OS that are included in QuickTime for Windows, such as the Component Manager. Also
updated the PDF of the book QuickTime 3 for Windows Programmers, which now includes the Windows
utility functions documentation.
3/16/98 -- Updated the links on the What's New in QuickTime 3
page to point to the correct reference pages.
3/12/98 -- A note was added to Using QuickTime Vectors,
describing the need for eraser shapes and some issues involving placing samples over another track.
3/12/98 -- Added a QuickTime Audio section to the QuickTime Sound documentation.
3/5/98 -- Added a note to the NewGWorld documentation stating that QuickTime 3 for Windows does not support use of the noNewDevice flag with this function.
2/20/98 -- Revised and expanded the Sound Manager documentation. Please note that, even though the Sound Manager documentation refers to sound generation "on the Macintosh," these function calls are available to Windows programmers as well, as part of QuickTime for Windows.
2/18/98 -- Revised and expanded the QuickTime VR documentation.
2/5/98 -- The correct "QuickTime File Format Specification, May 1996" was posted in HTML and PDF. An obsolete draft of this document was previously posted.
2/5/98 -- Errors in the QuickTime Atom documentation were corrected.
The index and offset numbers in the description of Figure 5 are now correct.
2/3/98 -- This update page was added to the website.
