Herbert sure can explain the technical details, what I could understand is that the Quicktime API (QTKit framework) has been deprecated in favor of the AV Foundation framework, see https://developer.apple.com/quicktime/ https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/technotes/tn2300/_index.html Deprecated does not mean removed, may be the plug-in can still be built; but anyway let's keep it simple for the users, and don't give the technical explanation why the feature has been removed, but explain the consequences (the known issues): - existing documents containing audio and/or video: the media cannot be played; the "Media Playback" toolbar appears when you select the media, but pressing the Play button does nothing - it is imposible to insert new audio and/or video, you don't even get the grey image-placeholder - logically, the sounds from the Gallery cannot be played nor inserted In short, there is no support for inserting/playing back video/audio in MacOSX with 4.1.0.
