[ome-users] Quicktime Export Options

Bio-Formats only supports writing compressed Quicktime movies if
QuickTime for Java is installed; if it isn't installed, then you won't
see a prompt for the compression type.  The movie's frame rate will
correspond to whatever is in the "Frame interval" field when you select
"Image > Properties", so you can certainly change it but Bio-Formats' exporter
plugin won't prompt for it separately.

Regards,
-Melissa
