What is QuickTime?
| Playback and Record Software |
|
Animation and video files that originally were designed for by Apple Corporation for Mac computers. Next came the software for playing quicktime videos on PC computers. In late 1996, Apple announced that it was letting go of its proprietary rights so that Quicktime could become an open-platform recording standard. Now PC users can record as well as play back Quicktime videos. Various playback utilities, including the always popular QuickTime playback software, can be downloaded free from www.apple.com Quicktime is clearly the standard in the lead for WWW video. But Microsoft's replacement of "Video for Windows" with its newer Active Video software makes it a closer race for dominance in video software. There is also a more advance version of QuickTime called Apple QuickTime Pro. Although this version is not free, it has authoring capabilities and additional viewing options for the advanced user. |
