ABOUT THE MOVIESTAR(TM) PLUG-IN
The MovieStar Plug-In is a Netscape plug-in for Macintosh and Windows that lets you
view QuickTime movies embedded in any World Wide Web page.
Although several plug-ins are already available for viewing QuickTime movies, the
MovieStar Plug-In does something that the others don't: It lets you view QuickTime data
streaming. "Streaming" is a way of viewing data not as a static document, but as a
continuous stream of dynamic data arriving at your computer.
With most QuickTime viewer plug-ins, you cannot view movies until they have fully
downloaded into your computer's memory. The MovieStar plug-in, however, lets you
view QuickTime movies-- with both video and sound -- as they download!
The streaming movie is a special QuickTime format created by the MovieStar Maker
application from Intelligence at Large. . Embedded movies created by other applications can
be viewed normally by the MovieStar Plug-In-or they can be opened with MovieStar Maker
and saved as streaming movies. A copy of the MovieStar Maker Beta release is available
for downloading from the Intelligence at Large Web site (www.beingthere.com).
Additionally, MovieStar Maker movies can be viewed (without streaming) by other
QuickTime viewer plug-ins. So nearly everyone can watch your MovieStar movies, but
viewers with the MovieStar Plug-In have the extra ability to watch it as it downloads.
MACINTOSH SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
