AW: OT: Quicktime and which codec ist best supported?

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Richard,
I'll have a look for 3ivx.
When testing with avi, just nothing happened, but I don't use the player
object, I use just the play command - might there be a difference between
using the player object and a pure play command?

Thank you
Tiemo
