I honestly don't know if it'll be hell or heaven, but I know whatever afterlife I end up in, I'll spend the rest of eternity installing operating systems

COPY THOSE FILES

that was fast

and we've got first boot

don't tell anyone, but when it demanded a password, I made it "steve"

now let's see if I can get online

Yep! We've got Online.

QUICKTIME TIME

oh come on
this company hasn't existed for 19 years, where am I supposed to get a serial number?

it turns out the answer is "google"

so now I gotta figure out how to ffmpeg a video to some kind of maximally lossless video that QT5 can open, just so I can use QT5 to re-encode it for me

what the heck? I copied over a MOV and it plays for like 2 seconds then triggers "you need more codecs"

HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN 2 SECONDS INTO A VIDEO?

I converted it to DV format, since QT supposedly supports that, but at DV format the video is 610 megabytes and for some reason my network connection is surprisingly slow

there we go! it took 16 minutes to download, but it works and plays fine.

and I hit "export" and it seems to have frozen.
I wonder if it's doing some kind of processing before it shows me the dialog? or if it is just hanging because TOO MUCH VIDEO
