Using digital video

You can give your Macromedia Director MX 2004 movie added appeal by including digital video.
Digital video not only offers high-quality real-time image animation and sound, but also supports new types of media such as Windows Media audio and video files and DVD content.
Director supports QuickTime video and Real Media content for Windows and Macintosh.
Director also supports Windows Media Video and Audio (WMV and WMA) for Windows only.
Audio Video Interleave files (AVI) in Windows are supported through the Windows Media Xtra.
The Windows Media Xtra extensions can also support MPEG-1 (including MP3), MPEG-4,
WAV, and RIFF.
QuickTime is a multimedia format in its own right. It offers sophisticated sound features and can include graphics in many formats, including basic navigation of QuickTime VR2 files. For a list of supported QuickTime formats, see the Apple Computer website at www.apple.com. To use QuickTime, you must also obtain QuickTime 3 or later (QuickTime 6 or later is recommended)from Apple.
Increasingly, digital media is being provided in the DVD format. The Director DVD editor lets you link to, inspect, manipulate, and access the contents of a DVD. You can link to media on hybrid DVD ROM/Video and regular DVD video discs. However, you cannot export Director files in the DVD format.
