Opening Recently Used Files
You can easily open recently used files.
To open recently used files:
m Choose File > Open Recent > [option]
To change the number of items that appear in the Open Recent submenu (in
Mac OS X), choose QuickTime Player > Preferences, click General, and choose an option
from the Number of Recent Items pop-up menu. In Windows, choose Edit >
Preferences > Player Preferences.
Finding Movies Quickly Using QuickTime Favorites
You can easily find and open movies by putting pointers to them in your QuickTime
Favorites window. To view your list of favorites, choose Window > Favorites > Show
Favorites.
To add a movie to the Favorites list:
1 Open the movie in QuickTime Player.
2 Choose Window > Favorites > Add Movie As Favorite.
You can also drag a file to the Favorites list window.
To rearrange movies in the list, drag them. To delete an item from the list, drag the item
to the Trash or select the item and press the Delete key. (In Windows, drag the item to
the Recycle Bin or select the item and press the Backspace key.) Deleting an item from
the Favorites list does not delete the file from your hard disk (or wherever the file is
saved).
Playing Copy-Protected Movies
QuickTime movies can be encrypted so that only authorized viewers can watch them.
Such movies are known as “secured media files.” To use such a file, you must enter a
“media key,” which is usually available from the media file provider.
To enter a media key (in Mac OS X):
1 Open System Preferences, click QuickTime, and click Advanced.
2 Click Media Keys.
3 Click the Add button and then enter the key provided by the author or vendor.
To enter a media key (in Windows):
1 Choose Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences.
2 Click Advanced.
3 Click Media Keys.
4 Click Add and then enter the key provided by the author or vendor.
