Maybe the difference is smooth full screen playback? I remember the early QT too, and used it on my old LC. Playback was mostly ok (15 fps or so) at 320x240 (think that was the resolution) but would strain if I increased the size.
Memories are a bit weak, so I might be misremembering some of this. But I do clearly remember full screen videos dropping a ton of frames. I used to put full screen videos up when I had parties (computer video was still a novelty and it made for a nice backdrop as people danced/drank) and it was 5 fps at best on that poor underpowered machine.
Yeah having used many Macs from that era even a species out II series Mac would have a lot of stuttering playing any video larger than about 320x240, and definitely nowhere near 24 FPS.
Oh, definitely: video on the SE30 was maybe 100x60 pixels? And as you say, not 30fps.
I was just reacting to how everything here seems to emphasize the “it does b&w dither video” aspect over the “large format and high frame rate” aspect.
