See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Silicon Graphics does not provide support for the QuickTime programming library, but only for the QuickTime file format. The definition of the QuickTime file format has not changed since its original release. Apple's enhancements have mostly been in the form of performance improvements and new features to QuickTime which have not changed the basic file format. So, in some sense SGI supports every version of QuickTime. But to answer the question practically, we do not support every features which Apple has introduced in later releases of QuickTime, such as MIDI tracks in QuickTime files, or QuickTime VR. SGI is working very hard to enhance its QuickTime support over time. In the Digital Media 5.5 tools software product for IRIX 5.3, SGI provides support for reading and writing QuickTime movies with Cinepak compression, as well as support for reading "non-flattened" movies which contain separate resource and data forks. To download the Digital Media 5.5 tools, see the first question in this FAQ. In IRIX 6.2, SGI also provides support for reading QuickTime files stored with Indeo3.2 compression, and also other features of QuickTime which were not previously recognized.
