TOPIC

    What does it mean when ActiveMovie claims playback of QuickTime?


DISCUSSION

    It means ActiveMovie can play back the QuickTime Movie format; however, ActiveMovie is limited to resident compressors such as Cinepak and uncompressed audio. ActiveMovie does not currently support any features beyond what is found in QuickTime for Windows version 2.1.2.

    The ActiveMovie support for QuickTime is a very limited subset of what QuickTime 3 for Windows provides. ActiveMovie does not have the feature set found in the QuickTime Plug-in 2.0, which has support for 20 MIME types.
