In Response To: Re: General MIDI Format??? (Godot)

Thanks for these, Hamish. The extra size is all in the resource fork; the data fork is identical between the two. (The resource fork has nothing special, just some Snow Leopard preferred-application information, so the small versions are better for distribution on the Story page.)

These are byte-for-byte identical to one I exported using QuickTime 7 Pro. It's a few bytes different than the QuickTime 2.5 export; maybe Apple fixed (or introduced) a conversion bug in later releases.

I know almost nothing about the MIDI or QuickTime Music formats, but in both QuickTime 2.5 and QuickTime 7, conversions from MIDI to Movie to MIDI (or Movie to MIDI to Movie) are not exact. Apparently the formats are not similar enough for lossless translation, so the QuickTime version is the only "canonical" one we have. The exported MIDI is only an approximation, and the QuickTime tracks are almost certainly just an approximation of the MIDI tracks as Alex Seropian created them.
