TOPIC

    Since I upgraded to Mac OS 8.0 (or 8.1), my computer crashes when I try to play QuickTime movies from an ISO-9660 CD-ROM. What's going on?

DISCUSSION

    Using Mac OS 8.0 or Mac OS 8.1 with QuickTime 2.5 installed, QuickTime movies may not play back correctly or may cause the computer to crash when played from an ISO-9660 CD. If the movies are dragged to the hard drive first, they work correctly.

    If the movies are played from a standard Macintosh format CD, they work correctly. Using system software 7.6.1 or earlier, the problem doesn't occur.

    This problem is now fixed in QuickTime 3. QuickTime 3 can be downloaded from Apple's web site:
