[Openquicktime-devel] My work on OpenQuicktime

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

Hello,

Sorry my work has been a little slow (at best) recently. I have just 
started a PhD at Southampton University and everything has been a bit 
messy and hectic. I also have been without ADSL / Internet access so 
haven't had a chance to check in my code recently.

The good news is that I now have my computer setup in a lab and will 
start work again !

I have removed lame from the OpenQuicktime sources and have been 
modifying the mp3 plugin to use the new liblame API. I want 
OpenQuicktime to be freely distributable on most platforms - and by 
putting patented codecs in it, it stops us distributing it in binary 
form. If there are any similar issues with other code in 
OpenQuicktime, please let me know.

So look forward to a check-in soon. Be warned that I have done 
another massive file changing to make types a little most 
sensible/standard. Want to get all the done before a release.

Ideally I would like to have a pre-release before the New Year - and 
make the OpenQuicktime 2.0 release early in the New Year.

Cheers,


nick.
