Road Map to QuickTime 3

QuickTime 3 for Windows Programmers

The QuickTime 3 API is essentially the same for Windows and Mac OS. Windows programmers need to create a slightly different event loop at the highest level and to translate some Windows events into their equivalent Mac OS events, but for the most part, a Windows program for QuickTime 3 does not differ from a Mac OS program.

There are three sources of information on QuickTime 3 for Windows programmers:
• QuickTime 3 for Windows Programmers describes the things that are unique to Windows, such as the event loop. Some Mac OS functions have different names under Windows because of function name conflicts, and these are also listed here.

• QuickTime 3 Roadmap documents the QuickTime 3 API. This information is for both Mac OS and Windows programmers.

• Mac OS Reference for QuickTime documents the parts of the Mac OS that QuickTime uses and that QuickTime programmers need to be familiar with. These parts of the Mac OS are included in the QuickTime 3 for Windows software.
