What is MoviePlayer?
--------------------
MoviePlayer is the default application for playing QuickTime movies on Mac OS-based computers. When you double click a QuickTime movie, the MoviePlayer program opens. MoviePlayer is automatically installed with Mac OS version 7.6 and later versions. You can find MoviePlayer in the Apple Extras folder.
What's in MoviePlayer Extras?
-----------------------------
MoviePlayer Extras includes two "plug-in files"-Authoring Extras and Goodies. These files add some extra features to the MoviePlayer application. These extra features are useful for creating your own movies. Some of the added features include:
* editing a movie's text track
* adding or editing copyright information
* adding or switching to a different color table
* specifying track preloading
To utilize these and other authoring features, place the plug-in files in the same folder as MoviePlayer.
Sample QuickTime movies are also included. Double-click a movie to watch it.
Problems playing long movies?
-----------------------------
MoviePlayer's application memory size is preset to 400K. This size should work well for short movies. If you find that playback of higher data-rate movies is not smooth, increase MoviePlayer's minimum memory size. (First, quit the MoviePlayer application. Then select the MoviePlayer icon and choose Get Info from the File menu. Increase the number in the Minimum Size box.)
