Quicktime is a good solution for cross platform apps
*IF* you dont need Linux
*IF* your users have administrative rights on their computer (Quicktime is 
not installed by default on Windows computers)
*IF* Apple do not change his license policy of Quicktime suddenly (already 
happens few years ago)

I used Quicktime for Windows apps succesfully for Point of Informations, 
but i had nightmares with widely distributed CD-ROM because my end-users 
didn't know how to install Quicktime, or where not allowed to do it or 
there was some failure in the installation process.

For windows only apps DirectX is a much better solution, but unfortunately 
not supported yet by revolution.

It would be very fine if Revolution could support natively the Flash 
Player, because the flash player displays very well sounds, vector graphic 
animation and digital video and is avalaible on Mac, Windows and Linux.
