Setting QuickTime to Handle More or Fewer File Types (MIME Settings) When files are downloaded over the Internet, each file is assigned a MIME type to indicate what kind of file it is. Your browser keeps track of which plug-in should be used to display each kind of file.

QuickTime can display a wide variety of file types. To make QuickTime handle more or fewer file types, you can edit the MIME type settings. If you edit the list, you can return to the default list by following the instructions below and clicking Use Defaults.

To edit MIME settings in Mac OS X, open QuickTime Preferences and click Advanced. In Windows, choose Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences, choose Browser, and click MIME Settings.

Viewing QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) Movies

QTVR movies display three-dimensional places (panoramas) and objects with which the user can interact. With a QTVR panorama, it’s as if you’re standing in the scene and you can look around you up to 360 degrees in any direction. In a QTVR movie of an object, you can rotate the object in any direction.

To pan through a QTVR movie, drag the cursor through the scene. To zoom in or out, click the + or – button. (If the buttons are not showing, zoom in by pressing Shift; zoom out by pressing Control.)
