Re: [Openquicktime-devel] Messed CVS + Feature Request

[Nick H. <nj...@ae...>]

Hi,

Yes, CVS being messed up is my fault. I got in a bit of a tangle just 
before I left for holiday and commited things I shouldn't have. But 
don't worry I haven't given up! I shall be back and working on OQT - 
almost full time hopefully when I get back from holiday - in a week 
or so.

The main thing I am working on is getting audio sample sizes other 
than 16bit working and hopefully making the API/internal APIs a 
little bit nicer.


De-registering is something that I didn't bother doing - I seem to 
remember that there are empty functions where there should be code...

I agree that deregistering could be good but in this specific case 
why do you want new (better?) versions of RLE and RAW ? - why not 
just replace the exisiting code - which I'm not sure even works yet 
(Jozef?).

I will look at updating the Make files to link against 
libopenquicktime when I get back...


Cheers,

nick.
