We now turn to working with digital video files with Director 11. Back when Director was first created, it was a digital video application, so it has quite a bit of a legacy of working with digital video files and I would hazard an opinion that Director 11 is probably the best single authoring application if you want to work with digital video files. Digital video will give your Director movies added appeal by including digital video as well as digital video will provide high-quality, real-time image animation and audio files. Director also supports media such as Windows Media audio and video files as well as DVD content. Director supports probably the widest selection of video formats of any authoring application. It support QuickTime video and RealMedia content for both windows and the Macintosh platforms, as well as Windows Media Video and audio. That's the WMV and the WMA formats for Windows only. Also for Windows only it supports audio video interleaf files, otherwise known as AVI files. These are supported through the Windows Media Extra. The Windows Media Extra extensions can also support MPG 1, including MP3 audio files, MPG4 audio wave files, as well as RIFF files, R-I-F-F. Director support, however, is probably best for QuickTime movies. QuickTime is a multimedia format in its own right and offers sophisticated sound features and can include graphics in many formats including basic navigation of QuickTime VR2 files. For a complete list of supported QuickTime formats, you'll want to see the Apple website at www.Apple.com. To use QuickTime, you must also have the QuickTime 7 plug-in or QuickTime 7 or later from Apple. For digital media provided in the DVD format, the Director DVD Editor lets you link to, inspect, manipulate and access the contents of a DVD. In fact, Adobe is really upgraded the capability of Director to work with DVD technology. You can link to media on a hybrid DVD-ROM, as well as regular DVD video disks. However, you can not export Director files in the DVD format. Now, digital video can make significant demands on a computer's processing power, so you will probably need to manage your video content more carefully than other cast members to make sure the video does not adversely affect your movie's performance. You may want to play shorter movies or make your movies smaller. You can also use Lingo or JavaScript to give Director more flexibility when playing digital video back and it can help overcome some of these performance concerns. Use Lingo or JavaScript to play digital video in ways that are not possible with the Score alone. Using Lingo or JavaScript, you can do each of the following: precisely synchronize digital video and animation, turn digital video on and off on demand, control individual video tracks, control QuickTime VR files and trigger events at key points in time for a video Sprite's playback. You can export movies or portions of movies as both QuickTime files or AVI files. Let's now move on to the next movie where I demonstrate how to import various digital video formats that are supported by Director 11 into a Director file.
