Klaus, How did you manage WAVs? I am sure I have not managed to play a
windows WAV file in Rev without QT being installed? To me it was a big
problem as WAV is still the 'native' recording type for windows for many
apps and earlier Win versions.

I don't think it's some, I don't think any distributors in teh Uk ship with
QT installed.
The main problem as I see it is:
- Many users do not have the rights to install these things. I am an
engineer of 25 years working with many other engineers. We all have home PCs
and know how to use them but none of us can install anything at work. It has
to be done through an IT team. This is the same for most organisations I
believe. I think its pretty unusual now for businesses to give their workers
admin rights - the risk of loading unlicensed software and penalties is just
too high. I would think that assuming all users can download QT and install
is no longer true.
- Windows is shipped with media player, just like Mac OS is shipped with QT.
So most users don't need it.

So as Rev needs it for full potential- why can't Rev bundle QT with the
player at source (or have as an associated install)? I've seen many other
programs that ask me if I want to install QT as well (the QT licensing for
individuals is really a bit cumbersome for the stack producer).
