QuickTime for Windows --
Here is an app that has been absent from The CWSApps List for too long. No other application on the 'net currently allows you to view a QuickTime file (*.MOV) without first having the drivers included in this client. QuickTime files can combine audio and video content, they offer relatively high quality, and they are readily available on the 'net. For these reasons, downloading QuickTime for Windows is a quick and easy decision for most 'netizens. In addition, Apple has recently released plug-in versions of the player that work with versions 3.0 and higher of both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. The plug-in version allows users to watch inline QuickTime files from within your favorite web browser. The QuickTime plug-in includes QuickTime VR components and sports cool new features like scaled movies (for playback of movies at different sizes, caching of movies, and QuickTime VR Hot Spots (like web hotlinks but the links are contained within QTVR movies). For a sample of some of the many QuickTime movies available check Apple's QuickTime Cool Content repository. There is also a QuickTime FAQ available to help new users get acquainted with the QuickTime world and a QuickTime WebMasters' Guide for helping web developers create sites with embedded QuickTime movies.
