• Movie Player 2.1 for Macintosh
  MoviePlayer is a utility for playing movies on the Macintosh. Use MoviePlayer to examine movies frame-by-frame, or test whether a movie is playing correctly in a standard environment. For example, you could import MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) files and convert them to the QT 2.0 Music architecture format using MoviePlayer. MoviePlayer also has several new features to analyze frame rate, codecs, track information and so on. (Codecs are the algorithms used to reduce the sizes of graphics and movies. Codecs accomplish this by converting the analog sound or video information at the file creation end and decoding the digital data at the playback end.)
