NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

COMMANDS

::quicktimetcl::info qtversion

Returns the QuickTime version in hex format. For instance, 412800 means version 4.1.2.

::quicktimetcl::info icversion

Returns the version number of the image compressor manager.

::quicktimetcl::info iccodecs

Returns a list of elements of the following form: {-subtype subType -name name}, where subType is a four character code defining the codec, and the name is just a descriptive name.

::quicktimetcl::info components ?type?

Returns a list of elements of the following form: {-type type -subtype subType -manufacture manufacturer -name name} describing all the components on this system. Both type and subType are four letter codes defining the component. The -name part need not exist for all components. Beware: this is a very long list, with a total of 792 on my Mac running QuickTime 4.1.2 (full install), and the Tcl/Tk console is not happy to print all that. Instead use, for instance, set a [::quicktimetcl::info components]; set b 1 to supress the output.

If type is given, the command will only return components of this type. One example of this is the Graphics Exporter Component, grex, which handles all exports of still images. By convention, a grex component has its subtype identical to the Mac file type for the corresponding graphics format.

::quicktimetcl::info connectspeed

Returns the preferred connection speed set in the QuickTime user preferences, or 2800 (28.8 modem) if not set.
