MOV (QuickTime Movie) Files
QuickTime
®
is a standard file format created by Apple
®
for storing common
digital media types such as audio and video. When you choose QuickTime
(*.mov) as the Save as Type, your animation is saved as a .mov file.
You can export animations to .mov for both rendering and previews. You can
also export audio if an audio track is present in Track View. To preview an
existing .mov file, you must have movieplayer.exe included in your environment
path. You can download the QuickTime movie player from
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download.
NOTE The plug-in does not allow for the direct import of audio from a QuickTime
file.
Interface
When you create a new QuickTime file or choose Setup for an existing one,
you see a dialog that is typically titled Compression Settings. This dialog is
provided by the QuickTime
codec on page 7740 installed with your system,
and can change depending on the version of QuickTime you've installed.
MPEG Files
The MPEG format is a standard for movie files. MPEG stands for Moving
Picture Experts Group. MPEG files can have a .mpg or .mpeg file name
extension.
MPEG is supported only as an input file format. You can use MPEG files as
texture maps.
