But how to get that codec on my modern Mac is the same problem I have with the Cinepak codec. I read that QuickTime 3 (which runs in System 7.5.5 on my SE/30) also includes one of the first versions of the Sorenson codec. Surely there must be some way to add the CINEPAK codec in VLC or QuickTime 7, even when running under High Sierra, right? Any brilliant ideas on that would be welcomed. This forum post talks about using FFMPEG (a command line tool that runs in the MacOS Terminal) to encode CINEPAK video, and a script is provided but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the script to run in the Terminal in conjunction with FFMPEG. (I have a 50MHz 68030 accelerator in my SE/30.) But neither QuickTime 7 nor VLC seem to offer the CINEPAK codec under High Sierra. Cinepak apparently will playback well even on 25MHz 68030 CPUs. It seems that I need the CINEPAK codec on my MacOS High Sierra Mac in order to compress and resize video that will run on 68k machines.


(This was built with the intent that you might make an ipod-video version, a youtube version, and a DVD version of a file, back in the day.) (And, the version of Compressor from, say, final cut studio 2 would be an interesting one to look at because it'll almost certainly still have all this legacy stuff, it'll run on ppc/osx in a fairly wide range of OSes, and you can export/re-compress a bunch of files at once into a bunch of different versions. Compressor, if you have it, would be able to do this in bulk. I'll look hopefully a little later today but the settings you need are probably in the QuickTime application under an export or save as command. That said, Apple announced the other day that they're going to start pulling old video formats out of future versions of their apps and the OS, so a 10.12 or 10.13 Mac is probably well positioned to be the newest machine you can do this on, at least using Apple's own tools.

Just looking at QuickTime Player on my 10.6 Mac, which happens to be near me at the moment, you don't get an awful lot of settings there (Apple was still trying to sell $30 QuickTime Pro licenses), but I believe that was all exposed by the time of Sierra/Mountain Sierra.

You should be able to export to just "QuickTime" format with settings low enough to work in v3, but Cinepak compression would be best for this. Some discussion about this, with re/ IIci and 475 came up a couple days ago: Quicktime 3 runs on a wide range of hardware.
