QTW 81 - Looping Movies (27-September-96)


Q I have an audio-only QuickTime movie that loops seamlessly on the Mac, but messes up on the PC. I load the movie into MoviePlayer and turn looping on. On the Mac it works fine. On the PC there's an audio glitch when it tries to loop.

Is there something I need to do to the movie to get it to loop properly on the PC?


A QuickTime does not guarantee that a looping movie will loop seamlessly, only that it will loop. On the Macintosh, the looping point is usually seamless, but not always. On the PC, it almost never is seamless. If your movie is looping at all, then it already is looping properly.
