@livecodesam My bad - this line ^^^ should be removed, since the play command is not deprecated. It is just the play videoClip .. form that is deprecated.

@livecodesam I suggest replacing the whole paragraph with something like:

The use of QuickTime was deprecated in version 8.1 of LiveCode. Thus, the play videoClip .. form of the play command is no longer supported, since it was relying on QuickTime.

The use of <QuickTime> was deprecated in version 8.1 of LiveCode. The
Windows build of LiveCode no longer supports any <QuickTime> features.
Additionally <QuickTime> does not include 64 bit support and therefore
can not be supported on OS X 64-bit builds of LiveCode.
