You should use scripts to start the movie, and not rely on the movie starting itself. That way Director has a moment to settle down before the movie plays, otherwise there's a fight going on between QuickTime playing the movie from one area of the CD, and Director still loading graphics from another area. >I checked out our codec: it's Sorenson.

Higher data rate Sorenson is more processor intensive. You're at quite high data rates (CD-ROM rates are more usually around 300k/s), and slower machines may hitch even if they're playing off the hard drive. -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
