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 that is no longer than 8 characters, plus the extension .MOV for example, MYMOVIE.MOV.
