Is anyone familliar with a movie format in Adobe Acrobat that is able to exist (apparently) as a stand-alone application? It does seem to lean upon QuickTime in a somewhat transparent way.
I have a very helpful tutorial video from SSL (and yes, I asked them about this already) which is on a CD-ROM in this odd format. It does not seem to run without the disk (cannot copy the contents of the disk onto my hard drive to make it run) and I cannot get the Macintosh "Disk Utility" to make an image of the disk.
If you launch the application without the disk in the drive, it asks for a file called "SL9000:media:main.dir", which must be an invisible file because it does not appear anywhere on the CD-ROM. CD-ROM cannot get past this dialog without the CD-ROM.
The disk contains: Adobe Movie Plug-In, Plug-In Reader Insaller, Insaller empty desktop folder, a couple of pdfs (pdfs and manual) and then the application itself, called SL9000 (because it's instructions on an SSL9000 desk, you see...).
I'd like to be able to share this video with some students, but that involves figuring out how to copy it.
Any insight anybody has on this topic would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Noah
