LiveCode Video Display with QuickTime on a PC ?

[Francis Nugent Dixon]

Hi from Beautiful Brittany,

I’m confused - I want to create a PC version of a stack which plays
videos (external) on demand. The files are either .mov or .mp4.
The stack works perfectly on my Mac, but when I run it on a PC
the video display will not work (no QT).  So I have questions :

If I install Quicktime (Version 7) on the PC, what do I have to do to
allow it to run the videos , or is it transparent, as with Mac OS ?
If (as I have read) QT doesn’t run well on a PC, if I convert all the
video files to .AVI (using Windows Live Movie Maker ?), will video
display then work properly ? Obviously, I prefer QuickTime …..

Is there anything else I shold know ? LiveCode information concerning
video display with QT on a PC is very vague. I’m running V 5.5.

Thanks

-Francis
