[MacDV] QuickTime Details

[Mark M. Florida]

Your friend probably needs to update to QuickTime 6 -- that's the latest
version, and it's available for OS 9.

But yeah, like James said, it's probably an issue with whatever codec you're
using for your movies.  If you're using MPEG4, that's a QT 6-only codec.
Sorensen 3 will work on QuickTime 5, and it's a really nice, high-quality
codec -- maybe give that a try?

2 cents.
