eBook Academy Set-up

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Klaus,

Yes, QuickTime needs to be installed to play an MP4 clip. I just tried 
it in LC 5.5, on Windows 8 with QT installed. The sound played, but the 
picture didn't update. I was unable to use the stop playing command and 
the number of videoClips reported 0 :-D I guess it isn't too reliable.
