After you have QuickTime 4 or greater installed on your computer,
Adobe Director can access digital video, Flash can export complete QuickTime presentations, and otherwise
pedestrian applications can play synthesized music.
With the inclusion of streaming video in QuickTime, Apple dressed up the QuickTime MoviePlayer with an
eye-catching brushed metal look and changed its name to QuickTime Player. QuickTime movies have a
.mov filename extension.
Like RealMedia, QuickTime streaming has three main software components:
n QuickTime and QuickTime Player: All the viewing goodness of QuickTime and QuickTime
Player (see Figure 26-6) is free and available for Macintosh and Windows at
www.apple.com/quicktime. QuickTime is also included with all Macintosh computers, and
installed on Windows by CD-ROM titles. Just as with RealPlayer, users can spend more time in
QuickTime Player and less in a browser because of the favorites storage and Flash navigation elements
in many streaming presentations.
