The library "Apple QuickTime™ Viewer" is a OpenDoc-based QuickTime movie viewer. It allows you to embed Movie and VR files in OpenDoc documents. This viewer will only function with QuickTime 2.1 (or later); it does not work with QuickTime 2.0. If you do not have QuickTime, you may obtain it from this CD, or from the world wide web at http://quicktime.apple.com.
This viewer will run on any Macintosh computer that is supported by OpenDoc.
Using the Apple QuickTime™ Viewer
To use the Apple QuickTime Viewer, simply embed a movie or VR file in an OpenDoc document (or a container application that supports OpenDoc). This can be done by dragging Movie files from the Finder into a document, or by copying and pasting the data into a document.
The Apple QuickTime Viewer is similar to other QuickTime viewers such as SimpleText or the MoviePlayer. The primary difference lies in the way the controls are not shown in the same window. To view the controls, click on the QuickTime badge (Film icon) in the lower left hand of the viewer's frame or use the "Show Movie Controller" menu item in the "Movie" menu. The controller displayed is the standard QuickTime movie controller, and will behave as expected.
For VR movies, control is performed through direct manipulation (mouse clicks and drags) of the VR panorama or object.
To copy or drag and drop Movie data from the viewer, it first must be selected. To select data, activate the viewer and use the "Select All" menu command in the "Edit" menu. You may also set a sub-selection of a QuickTime movie using the movie controller.
Developer Notes
These notes are intended for developers only.
The QuickTime Viewer stores the QuickTime data in the value "+//ISO 9070/ANSI::113722::US::CI LABS::MacOS:ScrapType:moov". This string can be obtained by calling GetISOTypeFromPlatformType(ev, '3DMF', kODPlatformFileType) on the ODTranslation object. The data in the value is standard QuickTime Movie reference data.
The QuickTime Viewer can alternately store the "actual" movie in the value "+//ISO 9070/ANSI::113722::US::CI LABS::AppleComputer:QuickTime Movie:Flat". While this can often be a significant amount of data, it enables better document portability.
The QuickTime Viewer also stores a static PICT (PosterPage) in the value "+//ISO 9070/ANSI::113722::US::CI LABS::MacOS:ScrapType:PICT". As above, this string can be obtained by calling GetISOTypeFromPlatformType(ev, 'PICT', kODPlatformFileType) on the ODTranslation object.
Bug Reporting
Report any problems you find by using the bug report form on this CD and e-mailing it to odbugs@apple.com or use the bug report form at http://www.opendoc.apple.com/forms/bug_report.html.

The version can be obtained by selecting the part library and using the “Get Info” command in the Finder or by checking the About box under the Apple menu.
