QuickTime
Player becomes QuickTime Player Pro: a great piece of software that provides easy content conversion
and cut-and-paste video compositing, although the interface is spartan and sometimes
hides functionality. Apple has a directory of third-party QuickTime authoring resources at
http://developer.apple.com/quicktime.
n QuickTime Streaming Server: QuickTime Streaming Server delivers video over the Web using
the standard RTSP, just like RealPlayer. Apple released QuickTime Streaming Server as open
source software, and it is available completely free??”no per stream charge, either for Mac OS X
10.4 and higher. See www.apple.com/quicktime/streamingserver.
You can find examples of QuickTime streaming content on the QuickTime home page at
www.apple.com/quicktime.
Windows Media
Microsoft has released a succession of media technologies over the years in an effort to gain some sort of
foothold in content creation and delivery. The history of Microsoft multimedia is an incredible story of
acquisitions, rebranding, orphaned technologies, and outright copying of everybody else.
With Windows Media, however, Microsoft has gone all out, providing a solid solution with lots of partners.
Still, Windows Media??™s greatest asset is its automatic inclusion with every Windows PC, virtually guaranteeing
it a huge installed base as time goes on.
