Abstract of INFO-MAC archived encoded Mac binary file 'gst/q-player.hqx' Uploaded 03/07/2003 86796 bytes From: a984@bestrateisp.com Subject: QT media player with variable playback speed. Original Apple QuickTime Player (a crude demo software shell, not the real thing) modified to support variable playback speeds. In O2 steps. Self explanatory for most part. -- Three ways to start/stop the playback: a) - use play button, b) use space bar or c) double-click inside the movie window. The last one may engender some confusion occasionally. -- Use OPTION-Click&Drag to drag your windows around. Resize with the resize box (lower-right). -- Use shift drag in the slider to make a partial selection. -- Stage Mode means next time you open a movie (or more precisely any QuickTime media file) the "movie" starts in full screen mode with controller not showing. Unfortunately there is no way to get it to start playing automatically (limitation of Apple provided API) so you will have to hit the space bar to get it going. -- You will see a glitch here and there especially when playing at nonstandard speeds. These reflect problems with the underlying technology (QT) not the quality of this coding ioho. For reasons unknown this (and the original) software hangs up on 3ivx encoded media. -- free to use, copy and distribute if kept free of charge -- jmg - bug reports to a984984@imap.cc
