I've heard that folks have had success using Buddy API's baVersion("qt3")
in place of Lingo's quickTimeVersion() function. I suppose Buddy API does
not initialize the QT3 Asset or the QT drivers.
Note that baVersion() returns a string, so you would need to parse the
return into a usable value before making the comparison. Hmm, they seem to
return slightly different versions, too:
-- Welcome to Director --
put baVersion("qt3")
-- "4.1.2"
put quickTimeVersion()
-- 4.1800
