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

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hello Richard,
I was just thinking the opposite, because with the player object I only
found a start and stop command, I use the play command without the player,
because there I have the step command included, what I didn't found with the
player object. Or did I missed something? And stepping is a must for me.
