Re: Opening a movie in Quicktime Player with a macro

[Bill Mohler]

Does this new version of the QuickTime Movie Player plugin come included
in the QuickTime_Plugins.jar file that is available for download at
http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/movie-player.html ?

Or is it only the QT_Movie_Player.java file that is upgraded as of August
5?

On a related tack...
I am currently having trouble opening movies in ImageJ 1.37v using the
latest QuickTime_Plugins.jar dowload and QTJava.zip from QuickTime 7.2 on
Windows XP.

I believe the QT_Movie_Player used to work on this machine, and I'm trying
to figure out what has gone wrong.

The Bio-Formats plugin can open several types of QuickTime movie (raw,
rle, jpeg, mjpb and some rpza) without using QTJava, so you could give
that a try. But this will only do what QuickTime Opener does, and
won't help with the QuickTime Player.

Thanks, Curtis.

I've been using the Player to browse through large (>1 GB) QTVR
objects, capture single frames, and build linear movies from cropped
and contrast-enhanced images.  So I think I need the player for this,
or else I would have to open the whole data set, and would lose the
VR interaction that makes it so much easier to do this task.

Best,
Bill
