Hi,

We are looking at the idea of running our little kids cdroms on the windows platforms w/o quicktime and using mcisendstring commands to play wmp video files on the pc side (we will use qt versions on the mac site). also use mcisendstring to play audio wav files on the pc side also.

Question is how steady is using mci string commands on all the various windows oses? It feels like i may be asking for a lot of trouble here. I makes things soooo much easier to let quicktime do the work on both platforms (rev does well keeping things pretty much the same on both sides of the world), but we have problems with very novice users on pc not being able to figure out how to install quicktime and also a lot of school systems have software installation blocks which makes it really hard to use anything that requires any installation like quicktime on pcs...

Has anyone had luck with doing qt on the mac and mci on the pc for playing video/audio like this? has it made your life miserable with a lot of platform specific coding/testing? feels like a world of hurt to me...

thanks

jeff reynolds
