i never understood the difference between DirectX and DirectShow. isn't the latter just a part of the former? just like Direct3D?<br>

anyhow, at least when installing the SDK i had to also install a redistributable runtime-environment. i don't know whether this is needed for an end-user of Gem too (my only w32 machine now has the runtime-environment installed, so i cannot check :-))<div class="Ih2E3d">

i probably misunderstood the original question.<br>
right, as far as quicktime is concerned, only the QT SDK is needed.<br>
