OpenQuicktime aims to be a portable library for handling Apple's
|
||
|
|
QuickTime(TM) popular media files on Unix-like environments. Its aim is
|
||
|
|
to provide encoding, authoring and editing support as well as video
|
||
|
|
playback.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This library is based on an enhanced version of the Quicktime 4 Linux
|
||
|
|
library. It features decoding and encoding QuickTime files, support for
|
||
|
|
standard audio and video codecs (including MP3 audio) and a plug-in support
|
||
|
|
so that non-open source codecs can be used with OpenQuicktime.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OpenQuicktime could be used by any Unix players or encoders wanting to
|
||
|
|
support the Quicktime format. OpenQuicktime is still young but is already
|
||
|
|
used by some applications. The most promising application using
|
||
|
|
OpenQuicktime is GStreamer.
