This describes the attachment of a QuickTime video to a presentation object. No description of the QuickTime format is provided. Without specifying a version and supported codecs, there will be no interoperability.

Describing the QuickTime format is out of scope for the OOXML specification as QuickTime is widely used file format.
A proper external reference must be provided. By including an element that represents a QuickTime attachment, OOXML explictly has made this within scope of the standard.
