QuickTime on the Amiga
QuickTime, for people who do not know, is an animation format on
the Mac and PowerMac. Apple have released a version for Windows
based systems but they forgot about the Amiga, so a number of PD
alternatives are available. The best of the lot is CyberQT, a
QuickTime player that spools the file from hard disk, meaning you
do not need 50Mb of ram to load view that 50Mb file you downloaded
off the internet. It can also use a graphics board to display in
24-bit. However, it does not support the newer variations such as
QuickTimeVR.
