OpenQuicktime aims to be a portable library for handling Apple's QuickTime(TM) popular media files on Unix-like environments. This project was firstly designed to allow the porting of the 3ivx codec on any Unix, but is now a completely separate and fully Open Source project. Details: - OpenQuicktime library contains no embedded codecs but has a plugin system to dynamically load audio and video codecs. - OpenQuicktime contains no colorspace conversion algorithm. - OpenQuicktime is fully portable and fully configurable with all the autoconfigure and automake magic we have been able to add. - OpenQuicktime supports compressed headers (decoding only for the moment). - OpenQuicktime supports Quicktime Sound System version 2. - OpenQuicktime can support any inputs and outputs (file, HTTP, FTP, RTP, ...), in fact the functions used to read, write and seek are overloadable. - OpenQuicktime has an overloadable plugin mechanism. This is a complex feature which enables any application to use its own codecs instead of the OpenQuicktime ones. WWW: http://openquicktime.sourceforge.net/
