Will,
Thanks for the response. What I'm looking into is to try and compress
animation/sound files. Simply using Stuffit gives me 50% give or take. I'm
interested in finding some LZW, RLE (or whatever; at this point, haven't found
anything) compression that I can call from an app.
BTW — I'm quite new to the Mac — is Amimation Compressor part of Quicktime?
Thanks again, Steve
Yes.
If you have access to the QuickTime development example code, there's areal
simple version of ConvertToMovie available as source code.Its generally very
easy to do the basics.
If you don't need compression directly from your app, you could save a seried
of PICT files, named in the style "Name.0001", "Name.0002" etc and use
ConvertToMovie to create a QuickTime movie. If you can get your sound onto the
clipboard, you can then open the movie in SimplePlayer and paste the sound in.
