[Libquicktime-devel] Could not find video Decoder

[Jean-Yves H. <jy...@cs...>]

Greetings,

I assume that this list is more or less dead, but just in case it’s only dormant…  :-)

Sometime in the past 12 months, my projects that were using libquicktime all started displaying the "Could not find video Decoder” message whenever I attempt to play a movie file.  This happens for very classical codecs like avc1 or dmb1, all types that I managed to play just fine only a while back (and of course still play in VLC), with no change in my code.  I get that message both on mac OS (10.14 Mojave) and Ubuntu Linux (18 through 20).  I would assume that I forgot to install something on both platform the last time I reinstalled both systems.  On the Mac, I installed libquicktime-dev through MacPorts.  Also installing x264 made no change.

A pointer to the proper software to install to get my old  libquicktime projects to run again would be much appreciated.  Otherwise what did you all move too?  Straight ffmpeg?

Best Regards,

jyh.
