Doesn't Rev -require- quicktime to be installed to show video clips?
That was my impression from the documentation.
On Macs, yes, because that's pretty much the default technology
available,
and it is true that the player object is optimized for QuickTime.
But on
Windows it is possible to use whatever default media technology is
installed
(usually Windows Media Player) by setting the dontUseQT to true. The
drawback is you don't get as much control over playback as you do
using
QuickTime. Note that you can also import video into a stack as a
videoClip.
One clarification here. If QT is not installed or if dontUseQT is
set to true then the player object reverts to using the "Media
Controller Interface" (MCI) on Windows. Windows Media Player does
not use MCI to play media so WiMP will play many files that Rev will
not.
If you want to know if a file format is supported by MCI then try
opening it with Microsoft Media Player (Start->Run->mplay32.exe on
Windows 2000 > and Start->Run->mplayer.exe on Win98, etc.) Microsoft
Media Player uses MCI to play media so if the file opens correctly in
this program it should open in Rev as well.
