Quicktime for Mac

To view Quicktime movies on a Macintosh you need to be running system 7.1 (or greater) and have the "Quicktime(TM)" v 2.0 (or greater) extension in your system folder. In addition Power Mac users should have a "Quicktime(TM) PowerPlug" extension. If you do not have these extensions, first check your "Extensions (Disabled)" folder in your system folder to see if they have been turned off. If you still can't find the extensions you can re-install Quicktime by locating your system disks/CD and doing a "Custom Install" or DOWNLOAD it from Apple.
Contents of the 3.2 Meg downloaded file include:

  • QuickTime(TM)
  • QuickTime(TM) Musical Instruments
  • QuickTime(TM) PowerPlug
  • QTVR Player 1.0
  • Tuesday Night Music Club Sample Movie

The QuickTime VR player or another application, MoviePlayer, can be used to view our movies. MoviePlayer should install along with your Quicktime(TM) Extensions, if loading off of your system disks/CD.

Quicktime for Windows

For best performance, we recommend that you install the latest version of QuickTime for Windows. The newest version fixes several problems and improves performance. You can download the latest version of QuickTime for Windows here.

This is especially true if you are using a 32-bit version of Netscape's Navigator running under Windows 95 or Windows NT.

Quicktime for SGI

Quicktime is shipped with the SGI operating system and is not distributed independently by Apple. Please contact your SGI representative if you cannot locate it.
