Computer Movie formats and players

Most computer  movies are originally made in MPEG or FLC format. However, some of the mpegs won't play on some mpeg viewers. QuickTime 3.0 can apparently handle the FLC format, and the SGI workstation that made this movie had a utility for converting MPEG to QuickTime, so if you have QuickTime 3.0, you should be set.  If not, check out the following web links for different types of players.

• an mpeg player for unix
• an mpeg player for Windows
• a variety of FLC players

        If you're not on the web, here are some public domain players that we have included on this CD-ROM.  They are included as zipped files.  If you are in Windows 95, just click on the link and winzip or a compatilble zip utility will do the rest, including setup and install.
