Many Mac apps that displayed animation/video prior to 2009 used
QuickTime APIs, and many of them continued past 2010. You can no doubt
run many of those older versions still today (QuickTime Player 7 being
one example). But most any app in that category that has been updated in
recent years now uses AV Foundation APIs instead.
