QuickTime 7: Preparing movies for Internet delivery
With QuickTime Pro, you can create movies that can be delivered over the Internet. You can deliver a movie as an HTTP download or as a real-time stream. HTTP download—This type of delivery allows website visitors to download the movie to their hard disk. Fast Start is a QuickTime feature that enables users to watch the movie as it's being downloaded (long before the whole movie has been downloaded) from a standard web server. Fast Start works well for short-form movies where file size is limited. It ensures high-quality playback regardless of the users' Internet connection speeds, though those with slower connections will wait longer before media starts to play. Real-time stream—This type of delivery is provided by QuickTime Streaming Server, and delivers media in real time over the Internet, from modem rates to broadband. The file is not downloaded to a viewer's hard disk. Instead, the media is played, but not stored, by the client software as it's delivered. Choose real-time streaming (instead of Fast Start) for webcasts of live events in real time, delivery of long-form video, 24/7 Internet radio and TV channels, and other cases in which you don't want viewers to store the file on their hard disk. QuickTime Streaming Server uses the RTSP protocol.

NAME

       pia - play media files

SYNOPSIS

       pia [ options ] movie

DESCRIPTION

       pia is a small X11 tool which playes movie files.

OPTIONS

       pia understands the usual toolkit options (-geometry + friends).  Additional options are:

       -h     display help text

       -v     be verbose.

       -debug enable debug messages.

       -dsp <dev>
	      Use OSS device <dev> for sound.

       -noxv  Disable Xvideo extention.

       -nogl  Disable OpenGL.

       -noaudio
	      Don't play sound.

       -novideo
	      Don't play video.

       -slow n
	      Slowdown video playback by factor n.  n=2 doubles playback time, ...  This also turns off audio playback.

SUPPORTED MOVIE FORMATS

       Main  purpose  of this utility is to playback movie files recorded by xawtv, motv and streamer.	It should be able to playback every AVI or
       QuickTime movie written by one of the mentioned utilites.  Feel free to submit a bug report if this doesn't work for some file.

   QuickTime
       pia uses libquicktime to decode quicktime movies, thus it should be able to decode  and	playback  all  movies  with  codecs  supported	by
       libquicktime.

   AVI
       AVI  support  is  very  limited.   Video:  uncompressed RGB data (15 and 24 bpp) and mjpeg is supported.  Audio: only uncompressed PCM data
       works.

   WAV
       WAV files are playable too, with the same limitation like AVI audio: only uncompressed PCM data.
