QuickTime 111 Platform You can choose whether the movies are played on Any Platform or on Mac OS Only. If you are creating streaming video for the Internet, you should choose the Any Platform option, since you will likely have users of both Mac and Windows platforms viewing your Website. There's a suggested technique for creating movies that look good on both Mac and Windows. See "Using Alternates to Adjust for Gamma Differences" on page 121. Quality The Quality option enables you to specify which movies within a group are more desirable if the user has met the other display requirements. The QuickTime Plug-in always displays the highest-quality movie possible, so it picks the movie with a quality setting of 6 over one with a setting of 5 if it can play both versions. You should specify quality settings for all the alternates so the QuickTime Plug-in knows which version to display. For example, if you make three versions of a movie at different data rates, use the Quality panel to give preference to the version with the highest data rate. Thus, if a viewer has a high-speed connection and can view any version, the QuickTime Plug-in displays the alternate with the highest data rate. Computer Power The Computer Power option enables you to specify the minimum CPU power (speed) required to play the movie. This is very helpful if you are creating higher-bandwidth, more demanding movies. Computer power is specified as a rating between 100 and 500. A given computer rating is determined by tests run by QuickTime during initialization and depends on the CPU speed, system bus and other factors affecting video playback. The higher the number, the faster the computer that is required to view the movie. You can enter a specific number in the field provided or choose from the list of common computer powers from the menu to the right of the field. QuickTime Version This option enables you to specify which version of QuickTime is required to view the alternate. Server Path The Server Path option enables you to manually specify the location of an alternate movie. See "Manually Specifying Paths to Alternate Movies" on page 118 for more details.
