Hi Klaus,

Yes, QuickTime needs to be installed to play an MP4 clip. I just tried it in LC 5.5, on Windows 8 with QT installed. The sound played, but the picture didn't update. I was unable to use the stop playing command and the number of videoClips reported 0 :-D I guess it isn't too reliable.

Hi friends,

just received the new LC Newsletter and took a lolok at the "eBook Academy 
Set-up" page,
where I saw this script snippet:
...
on openCard
    if the environment is "mobile" then
       send "playMobileVideo" to me in 0 milliseconds
    else

    ### DESKTOP !!!!
       play videoClip (specialfolderpath("desktop")& 
"/BitterRevenge/Video/Intro.mp4")
    ### !!!!

    end if
end openCard
...

Hm, did the new multimedia engine already find its place into the last version 
of LC and I missed it?
I highly doubt this does work on Windows this way. But I would love to be wrong 
;-)

This will work with QuickTime installed on the Win machine and when using a 
PLAYER object.
Not?


Best

Klaus
