Buy QuickTime Pro ... it comes with codecs that are very valuable.
Picking the right compression and settings is a bit of an art, and there is
much written about it on the web. The Apple developer site has some information
, and google will return you info from people who are a whole lot better at the
web end than I am. There is no hard and fast answer, pay attention to the
technique. The content itself influences your best choice of compression. Be
prepared for religious discussions.
As to quick start, and I think that is what you are talking about. I haven't
done it (my work is at the other end, big images and things that move on bigger
screens) and I believe there are some server issues as well as how the
QuickTime is created.
I did have the opportunity to spend some time with the young man who designed
and helped write the core of QuickTime ... it's a brilliant piece of work and
has only gotten better over the years. (It dates back to before the web as we
know it.)
Hope this trip down memory lane helps.
Yours,
David

Subject: [Carrara] Confused about Quicktime animations
Hello Everyone,
I've been looking at web animations and I've determined that
Quicktime is the best format for this sort of thing. The other
streaming formats have crappy sound quality and variable
picture quality (especially on slow modems).
Whats strange though is that some quicktime movies stream
right away and other times it waits till the whole thing is
downloaded to your hard drive before it plays. I like the latter of
the two because it seems to be a better quality. Which brings
me to my first question is: How is this implemented? Is this
something that is written in the HTML code or is something that
programmed into the Quicktime file?
Also another question, my video editor outputs to the quicktime
file format but I noticed that the program 'Quicktime Pro' is only
$30 bucks and it seems to do more. Had anyone here used
'Quicktime Pro'? What do you think about it?
Thanks in Advance,
Mark (A Carrara oldbie, a Video editing newbie)
