Macintosh System Software Extension
WHAT IS QUICKTIME?
QuickTime is a Macintosh system software extension —- a program you can add to
your Macintosh system software to extend the capabilities of the computer.
The QuickTime extension adds powerful capabilities that let applications
integrate graphics, sound, video, and animation into documents of all types,
such as spreadsheets and word processing documents. By providing a
standard way for all Macintosh applications to integrate these dynamic
elements, QuickTime ensures consistency, compatibility, and greater ease of
use.
The QuickTime extension manages
• how applications let you view, control, and edit QuickTime movie files (a
QuickTime movie can include any combination of video, animation, and sound)
• how applications control the compression of movies and still images
• how applications control hardware that interacts with QuickTime (for example
a video recorder)
By making it easy to integrate high quality still images, sound, and movies
into ordinary documents and applications, QuickTime brings multimedia
capabilities to all Macintosh users.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The QuickTime Extension will work on any Macintosh computer having a 68020,
68030, or 68040 central processor, at least 2 MB of memory, and a hard disk.
The system software must be version 6.0.7 or later. If you are using System 7,
Apple recommends at least 4 MB of memory. (QuickTime will run on a Macintosh
using System 7 and 2 MB of memory, but little space will remain for
applications.)
INSTALLING THE QUICKTIME SOFTWARE
The following sections describe how to install the QuickTime extension, and the
new Scrapbook, and the sample movie. Choose the installation procedure you need
to follow, depending on whether you are using System 6 or System 7.
Once you've completed the installation, further instructions for using the
features of QuickTime depend on what Macintosh applications you use that work
with QuickTime. Refer to the instructions that came with your applications.
Important: When you install the new 6.0 Scrapbook, your old Scrapbook will
be erased. If you want to save its contents, give the old Scrapbook a different
name before installing.

Player application to play and edit them, and the Wild Magic extension to
incorporate QuickTime movies into some existing applications. These
applications have not been tested, and Apple makes no guarantees that they will
always work properly.
