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.
