QuickTime 7 for Windows
Now that Apple has posted a beta release of their QuickTime 7 player for Windows a lot of folks are installing the new player to see what it has to offer. Unfortunately in doing that those users are rendering themselves unable to view QuickTime movies as part of Director-authored content. The trouble here is that our current QuickTime Asset Xtra fails to properly detect this latest QuickTime player release and as such prevents the loading and use of QuickTime media assets. At this time we believe that we've identified the underlying cause of this issue as a bug in the QuickTime Player code itself but are working with Apple in order to confirm that fact and to see what type of fix will be required as we would obviously like folks to be able to view and enjoy QuickTime media within Macromedia Director, its projectors and the Shockwave Player.
Please keep an eye on the following Tech Note in the Director Support Center as it will be updated when more information is available:
QuickTime 7 Support in Macromedia Director and the Shockwave Player
Note: please be careful and read the disclaimer provided by Apple with respect to installing the preview release of their player, it can be found in the lower-right corner of the QuickTime 7 player for Windows download page.
