[Openquicktime-devel] Re: current status and stable release date ?

Many of the sample audio and video files at

      http://www.openquicktime.org/files.php/

should actually work (audio encoding was still a little bit broken when I 
last tested it).  There are some obvious dependencies, like libpng for "png 
", xvid for "XVID", divx5 for "DX50" and so on.

      http://www.openquicktime.org/codecs.php

lists codecs currently supported provided dependecies are available at 
configure-time.

I don't think this has ever been tested.  Per design the library should be 
reentrant if one uses different handles in different threads.  Some codecs 
might fail.  Your test feedback would be very helpful.
