Help with OLD quicktime amd Macromedia

[Andy Moll]

Hi

I have a CD with quicktime and Macromedia projects (I think that’s what they called them) designed to run in windows 95 environment (yes that old 1997)

Does any one know if these can be transferred to something current and played

Thanks in hope

Macromedia was bought out by Adobe. Director, formerly Macromedia Director, is a current Adobe product, now at V11.5 You could try downloading the 30 day trial and seeing whether that can open the director files. Director is an authoring tool which follows a Produce -> Edit -> Publish metaphor. Files ending .dxr represent published content and not be edited as such.

Quick Time is a container format for multi-media files. The Quick Time player application is mainly a play back tool rather than an authoring tool, although later versions running on Mac's can perform some simple video editing operations. Most Quick Time files can be imported into some video editors. Some Quick Time files can only be imported by first converting to an intermediate format which is compatible with video editing.

I don't have adobe, but I will have a go at importing one of the other files for you, can you email me one or if too big the send via www.mailbigfile.com
