[Openquicktime-devel] OpenQuicktime Progress ?

[Nicholas H. <nj...@ec...>]

Hi,

Is anyone actively developing OpenQuicktime at the moment ?


I plan to use it as part of my Third Year Computer Science project on 
streaming audio using QuickTime. I have written a broadcast program 
that streams Live MP3 audio on Linux to DSS. It currently uses Lame 
directly but I may use OpenQuicktime if it looks worthwhile (so I can 
use other codecs - IMA4 ?). I have had it running continuously for a 
few months and it has been working well - http://surge.soton.ac.uk. I 
would also like to be streaming Text and URLs to the clients...

I would like people to be able to listen to our stream on Linux so I 
am looking into writing a Quicktime RTSP client for Linux - initially 
audio/text only.


I have done a bit of work on OpenQuicktime - I have managed to get it 
working under Mac OS X/Darwin with Fink (fink.sourceforge.net). I 
know this sounds a little pointless (what with real Quicktime being 
avauilable !) but I would like my broadcaster to compile on any 
Unix...

I am also working on getting the IMA4 codecs and raw codecs to 
work... I managed to get the 'twos' codec to work with a couple of 
lines saying memcpy !
