I have a presentation that one Windows user says "it asked me for QT effects"
This was unexpected because I thought I had used no effects that required quicktime...
later I discovered a "cross fade" lurking that I had tested and not removed.
But, meanwhile I had queried this user about his system and he says
"It works fine for me on Windows 98 Second Edition, except that it wanted to install Quicktime.
It wanted to install "Quicktime Effects"
(I don't use quicktime at all, other than the codec for playing movies and audio.).[but]
I use Windows Media Player Classic (http://www.gabest.org) for playing audio and video.
"I use Quicktime to play movies and sound if it required, but I don't have it installed."
This leads one to ask:
1) Assuming one uses (in my case) only "dissolve" and "wipe" throughout the presentation... (I will eliminate the "cross fade") will Windows users still get a demand to install QT if one has not set the "dontUseQTEffects" to true? Or, was my single instance of "cross fade" the cause for this?
2) Obviously querying the platform first makes the best sense... so, if QTeffect is not installed on a windows system will
put QTeffects()
just return empty on a system that does not have QT installed?
If so, then one assumes this will be the optimum thing to do, to trap for this problem...
if (QTeffects()="") then set the dontUseQTEffects to true
But then is this really necessary if only built in Rev visual effects are used?
3) And does this mean that a windows user with Windows Media Player Classic who has the Quicktime codex installed can in fact run any Rev player (sound or movie)?
