Why give users something that's "better than nothing", when you should give them the best that's out there? (That being QT6.) Besides, it's illegal to distribute any QT version other than 6, unless you started replicating the project before 6 came out, in which case you would be allowed to continue to distribute 5.

Re: How can I install a minimum QT Player without going through registration and download? (Allen Stare-IMM) Well, we always ship with QT4 on the basis that it works and it's better than nothing. We use two files (remembering this name, might not be right) - QTinstaller.exe and QTInstallcache.qdat (the latter being the bit that the QT installer usually tries to download). QTInstaller.exe automatically uses the installchache information without going to any web sites - it also does not need to go to the web to check for newer versions, or indeed need to go to the web for anything. If you would like to use it, I'll look into uploading the files somewhere you can get them, as I can't honestly say whether they're still on the Apple site or not. Another trick is simply to give people a choice, and keep on with it - i.e. "You will not be able to view the video parts of this presentation without Quicktime, but you may continue if you wish", and show this message every time you need to show a video. This can get irritating. Idea 3 is to simply duplicate the video in QT and AVI for each version, you lazy tykes (AVI being native to Windows). On the codec front, we tend to use Sorenson for CDs as I read somewhere that it's supposed to be good for running off CD, but how true this is I don't know. If you do decide to go QT for Mac and AVI for windows, cross-platform codecs aren't an issue; cinepak seems good for AVI.
