hm, I wonder how director detects that quicktime is installed
@onfy iirc programs can embed it in some way to play the video format so there's probably an api
@noiob ah, thing is
I should've specified, "in 1995"
@noiob version 3 of director actually looks for the dlls in your path which is very fucky, but 5 does something else
@onfy oh! it was an ActiveX thing
@noiob thing is, quicktime is a plague and potentially a compatibility hasard
with V3 I actually found out you can just not install quicktime and instead copy it to the program folder... wanna try to do that for 5
@onfy idk I mostly used macos back then (well not in 1995 but with computers that old) which naturally had no quicktime trouble
@noiob yeah, this all works a lot better on mac!
@onfy well, they usually came with the installer on the disc but you get what I mean
