MAKING MOVIES PLAYABLE ON BOTH MACINTOSH AND WINDOWS
To make a movie playable on a PC, on a Macintosh open a movie file using the Movie Converter utility (part of the QuickTime Starter Kit 1.0) and choose Save As (File menu). In the resulting dialog box, click the radio button labeled Make movie self-contained which tells the utility to sever any links to other movies after incorporating the relevant video into this movie. Also select the checkbox labeled Playable on non-Apple computers. This causes the movie to be saved as a single forked movie. The resulting movie is cross-platform and is still in the QuickTime file format.
Once you save the movie, it will be playable on both Macs and PCs without further translation or file conversion. Before you transfer the movie to a PC, remember to give it a filename thats no longer than 8 characters, plus the extension .MOV for example, MYMOVIE.MOV.
PRODUCT SUBMISSIONS ENCOURAGED
==============================
Apple Computer encourages developers of current and intended commercial products which use QuickTime for Windows to send us evaluation copies. For example, products such as CD-ROM titles, Movie clip libraries, applications and utilities are often considered for future co-marketing opportunities. Two copies are requested, one for marketing evaluation and one for technical evaluation. These products will be used to ensure full compatability with future versions of QuickTime for Windows. Please submit with appropriate product and company information to:
