I've been having a great time playing Quicktime movies in MC2.3B1 on
Win98. Congratulations to Scott and the crew.
Kevin Miller wrote in reply to someone using the old method to play QT
on Windows:
"You could switch to using the 2.3B1 release. That has a 'player'
object that plays back Quicktime movies (you can easily convert your
MIDI to QT)."
Over here I don't have to convert from MIDI -- it plays MIDI files
directly.
I do have some questions, though. While playing a QT or MIDI file you
can stop the start the playing with the SPACEBAR or the ENTER key. I
slow believe that you can stop the playing with a PERIOD. I would like
to type into a field while listening to MIDI or viewing a QT movie, but
without the keys dedicated to controlling the player the typing is
constrained. Would it be possible to keep the music playing and type at
the same time? Could we map other keys to control the player?
Along the same lines, if a movie and music are playing at the same time
would it be possible to switch control from one player to another. I've
been fooling around with adding MIDI soundtracks to some silent movie
trailers to see how everything works. It seems like control is always on
the object that starts first, but I haven't done any detailed
investigations.
There are a lot of possibilities and it seems to work well.
One more thing. Would it be possible to make control-V the PASTE
accelerator rather than control-Y. On Windows I'm just used to that
because all the other Windows programs seem to use it. Control-C and
Control-V work well together on most keyboards.
Thanks for the great product. I'm really having fun with it.
