12 Creating QuickTime Movie
Output Files
Compressor provides the tools you need to create
QuickTime media files.
QuickTime is cross-platform multimedia technology, and allows Mac OS applications to
capture and play back video, audio, and still-image files. QuickTime supports a wide
variety of codecs and can also be extended to accommodate additional codec options
and third-party codecs. See “Creating QuickTime Export Component Output Files” on
page 177 for more information about additional QuickTime export options.
