Quicktime Alternative

[keyless]

Does anyone know it Quicktime Alternative will work with Rev made standalones, or does it have to be Apple's.

Quicktime alternative uses Apples actual component so it might.

Hi keyless,

I don't think there is a need to try to avoid using QuickTime on MacOS X.

On Windows, you can set the dontUseQT to true. With the dontUseQT set to true, Revolution will use Windows' built-in MCI playback feature, which is really retarded and limited.

Revolution cannot use anything else on Windows. Revolution cannot play non-MCI files correctly, without QuickTime. Sometimes it looks like Revolution is doing fine without QT, but that's just a coincidence.

On Linux there is mplayer.

Best,

Mark

Thanks for your answer Mark. I definitly don't want to use MCI (I am on 2.8.1 and it is really broken in it.)

Quicktime Alternative is a package for Windows that allows one to play Quicktime files. It actually contains the Apple quicktime component to do this (the same one Browsers use to play quicktime movies, I believe) and I believe it makes it look in the registry like QT is installed.

Many Windows users prefer to install QT Alternative then a full Apple Quicktime install to play Quicktime movies.

Since it uses the actual quicktime base components, I was wondering if the player object in Rev could work with this. All my computers have QT so I can't test.

The main reason I ask is I once say a rev made app page that suggested QT alternative once, I think. and the QT Alternative light, if it worked would be easy to build into an installer.

Hi Keyless,

Probably, there's only one way to find out: try it.

As I said I have QT on all my computers. Uninstalling is not a good option either as I think I may have lost the email with my "Pro" registration code.
