-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
Nice to see another way to play videos on differen plattforms, thanks for the contribution!

Don't know what ffmpeg needs, I used RtAudio for crossplattform playback + recording of audio. It's basically one base-class with different backends per platform: http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/rtaudio/ > Another aspect to this plugin that is a little intriguing is that it's > a cross platform solution, and it works fine under 32bit and 64bit as > far as aware.

Everybody claims that the current quicktime-plugin + carbon window implementation sucks, because it can't handle 64bit, but nobody wants to spend time and/or money fixing this. I am currently in progress developing GraphicsWindowCocoa, so perhaps we have an alpha-quality-implementation by the end of this week. Without a true 64bit version of Quicktime which works on Win+Mac it doesn't make sense to update/replace the plugin by QTKit. (Currently, for 64bit, the 64bit app communicates with a 32bit background process, which provides the video-stream, and it lacks some of features + is not crossplattform) > Personally I'd much prefer to be able to maintain > a single cross platform video solution instead of three plugins, two > of which are platform specific.

Currently, I am against deprecating the quicktime-lib, because: 1.) it handles images default for OS X 2.) it handles live-video 3.) it handles movies ffmpg can't handle 4.) it has no dependencies on Mac OS X But if you want, go deprecate it, interested users can fork + maintain a copy of it. Just my 2cents. cheers, Stephan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.8 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmmhrwACgkQJXw1lkNcI04gowCgr0RajxtZ0TmJMt7+tOhM7/qv AsMAni+HstK5alSoBiEnD8uegcL7Dh4a =2oLs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ osg-users mailing list osg-users@lists.openscenegraph.org http://lists.openscenegraph.org/listinfo.cgi/osg-users-openscenegraph.org
