XAnim supports earlier Quicktimes -- qt3 and below, I believe.  However,
qt4 and qt5 are using the proprietary Sorenson encoder, and Apple won't
let Sorenson give the specs out to ANYONE.  Soooo, only the Quicktime
Player can play QuickTime4 and up, currently.  I would suggest MPEG as a
global platform.  Although, oddly XAnim handles MPEGs terribly....

Subaru.  :)  But then, I drove a 1981 Dodge Aries K-Car for far too
