Tiemo,
The best Quicktime-compatible codec we've found is 3ivx. Best
compression yielding the best graphics. It's at 3ivx.com, for both
Windows and Mac. It's used commercially, for example, in the Pure
Digital Point & Shoot video cameras (which are rather amazing little
camcorders). Yes, your customers will have to download and install
it, but that's an easy practice. We've integrated their installer
into our own Rev installer program to make it even easier for the
customer.
AVI'S work fine in the default Rev player object.
Best regards,
Richard Miller

Hello all,
I am new to Revolution and Quicktime-Video. I have read the
archives, but
still unsure about the right way for video. I produce offline content,
distributed on CD / DVD-ROM
1. With Revolution build-in player I can only play .mov - right?
2. As mov is only a container format I know that I can use
different codecs
with mov. Best results when testing produced the Sorenson 3 codec.
I tested
also with SorensonTM ( little less), Apple MPEG 4 (almost as good),
Apple
Cinepac (bad quality) and Apple Planar (best quality but incredible
giant
file size).
My question is, which codec comes with Quicktime installer, or what
codec
can I assume on customer machine?
4. Are there differences of quicktime installation between Apple and
Windows, beside quicktime on apple is preinstalled?
5. If e.g. the Sorenson codec doesn't come with Quicktime, can I
install the
Sorenson codec additional to quicktime on customer machine and
quicktime
will grab it, if I encoded my mov with Sorenson?
6. I encoded movs on one of my machines and playing on the other
machine
showed only "LSD-like colored blur", though on both machines
quicktime 7.1.3
(Windows) is installed. So there are obvious more factors, as
quicktime
version and codec to harmonize - what?
7. Which codec is the best approach with best quality and best
compatibility
when using mov?
8. As I have read on Apples quicktime site, I need an agreement
from Apple
to distribute the player with my application and have to put their
logo on
my product. Do you have any experiences with that procedure and
restriction?
9. Did anyone tried to play avi or swf in revolution. I am not yet
so far to
use a shell execute, but I could think that could be an approach.
But I
don't know, if you have the chance to use controls / methods with a
called
exe, so that I can control an external player from within
revolution (stop,
pause,play,step, get mediastatus,.)
Lots of questions, I hope not too much
Thanks for any experience sharing
Tiemo
