If you look around the site you'll also find a Texas school district

Add it as a text track then turn it off. All text tracks are 
searchable with Quicktime Pro. There are several types of text tracks 
in quicktime. They are only visible when they're turned on.

 Hey All,
 Quick question - how do you add a transcript to a video using 
quicktime pro?  I don't want it 
 to actually show up in the video itself - just in the metadata as I 
hear this helps with keyword

Sounds like a job for Sound Soap. The guys at Bias write a lot of

they're all on their site or if one needs to request them. Of course, 
they help you solve your problem with their product.

 I've tried Audacity's remove noise, but it's stripping out too much

Programs that handle .mov files usually make calls to quicktime. If 
quicktime is not present on the system then they won't be usable. If 
quicktime is installed then try saving the .mov file in a different 
format ( you may need a pro key to do this).

In Apple's excellent book Quicktime for the Web it states that

Quicktime pro will identify this track as such. just one more thing

in the windows only world, there's a software niche called worship 
software. the requirements are similar to vjing. while i use a dual 
moniter set up split to multiple projecters and a separate multi-camera 
station feeding me a single input. the top programs ( about $400)
support multiple video sources and three virtual moniters. you still 
have to pick one feed at a time although you can switch on the fly. if 
you choose to use a single monitor you'll need a cheat sheet or 
memorize your control screen( for me the added mental load cuts down on 
creativity).

 Sorry, Pat.  The Flip4Mac WMV Player let's you PLAY WMV video in

I've seen the term quicktime SMIL in a few posts. Unless Apple changed 
something for qt7, qt uses just the structural part of SMIL not the 
appearance part. SMIL is processed first. I've read warnings that a lot 
of SMIL could delay the start of a movie until SMIL processing is 
finished. I hope this helps some of the troubleshooting out there.
