-
- libquicktime is a library for reading and writing quicktime files. It
- is based on the quicktime4linux library, with the following
- extensions:
-
- * Sourcetree upgraded with autoconf/automake/libtool and all the
- other stuff, people like in "standard" linux libraries.
- * All 3rd party libraries (jpeg, OggVorbis) were removed to reduce
- download size, compilation time and code duplication on users harddisks.
- Instead, the sytemwide installed libaries are autodetected by the
- configure script.
- * All codecs have been moved into dynamically loadable modules.
- This makes it possible to distribute closed source codecs (or codecs
- with an incompatible license) as separate packages.
- * Unlike other quicktime libraries, we are source compatible with
- quicktime4linux. Programs like cinelerra or xmovie can be compiled with
- libquicktime (if the build system is modified, see our web page for more
- info).
- * The codecs themselves are also source compatible with
- quicktime4linux, so porting codecs between quicktime4linux and
- libquicktime requires only little brain load.
- * Special API extensions allow access to the codec registry.
- Applications can get important information about the codecs, their
- settable parameters etc. at runtime.
-
- For build and installation instructions see INSTALL.
