Finally, at the end of these weeks, I will present a complete review of LiveStage Professional. Now, without further delay, my discussion of the components of QuickTime movies. A QuickTime movie can contain many components. These components, when put together, create the images, sounds, and interactivity that the end user is presented with. In QuickTime, different types of data are stored in components that are called tracks.
Tracks are, essentially, a container for different pieces of media of the same type.
Within these tracks are items that are called samples. Samples are the individual pieces of media, or, in other words, the individual container for each piece or group or pieces within a track. In QuickTime, you can have as many samples as you would like inside of a track. To better understand the different tracks of QuickTime, we must first look at their purposes. Each different type of track has a different purpose, or different type of media samples it can contain.
