Exporting movies and tracks

You can export movies to a different file type than the original (such as an AVI file), or to an RTSP (Runtime Streaming Protocol) streaming movie for use on an RTSP streaming-dedicated server. For more information on RTSP streaming movies, see Using streaming tracks. When exporting a movie to different file type, you can use a different compressor. You can also export an individual track as a movie.

Note: Before you export a movie to an RTSP streaming movie, read the QuickTime documentation about preparing movie files for RTSP streaming.
