OSX Video Codecs...

[l008com]

OK in Classic Video Codecs go in the Extensions folder...
1) OSX uses these Codecs right? The same way it uses fonts in Classic's Font folder.
2) Is there a place to put these Codecs in OSX?
3) If so, WHERE is it?
4) When I add a codec to my Classic Extensions folder, what do I have to do to get X to use it? Restart Classic I assume, do I have to reboot X as well? Just reboot the QT player?

Place the codecs in the
/Library/Quicktime
folder!
I dont know anything about if classic codecs work but, this is where I placed my codecs, and they work!

OS X will not use a CODEC in the Classic extensions folder. In otherwords, OS 9 and OS X QT CODECs are not interchangeable. Want proof? divx.jamby.net has a "divx codec" that works in X, but not in 9. 3ivx.com has different versions of their codec for both OS 9 and X.

Mac OS X codecs usually have the '.component' (for quicktime component) extension.
