The best tool for messing with Quicktime files is unfortunately Quicktime
Pro. Its only about 30 bucks though I think. The new version also uses the
H.264 codec which is allegedly better/smaller/faster. Not actually available
yet for PC though. I very nearly sprung for the upgraded S Squeeze as I
already have the Flash Video Kit which comes with the "starter version"
Instead I have preordered Studio 8 which is coming with Flash 8 Pro which I
believe will render the Sorenson thing pretty much redundant. Hoping so
anyway.
