I corrected myself; being introduced in 1993 does not mean it was supported by all the Apple utilities since start, at once. Also, it is not an user friendly solution. Do you know, how it really worked? Mac users were sharing QT pro keys. Most had zero interest in the pro features, except full screen playback. It took Apple almost two decades to fix this.

It was very well supported. I had a Mac LC II back then. And your previous comments about the history of Apple makes me think that your memory or experience during that time is spotty.

  Well supported? Outside of Apple-only SVQ3 and QDM2, it was deserted wasteland. All the videos you could play on PC, it was pita on a Mac. Even if you eventually had divx codec, you had to convert avis to movs. But it is already established in this thread by others, that you have your own, RDF-like experience of what happened; no point in trying to discuss any further.

    Yes, it’s my “reality” distortion field that AppleScript wasn’t around until 2000 (which you were wrong about), that the Microsoft settlement didn’t involve QT (which you were wrong about), that Job’s sued MS (which you were wrong about) and that it wasn’t well supported by third parties (you were wrong about that too - I used it to do some automation around MS Office by 1995). Since you didn’t even know that AppleScript existed in 1993, how are you suppose to have any credibility about its history? I actually used it shortly after it was introduced. So what video were you playing on Windows around the time that QT was introduced? Do you know what demo was on the QT 3.5 disk that Apple sent out? Your “facts” are so wrong that you couldn’t have possible been working with Macs when these events occurred.
