VLC beats Quicktime in almost every regard, as far as I am concerned. Additionally, one could make an external with libvlc, eliminating the need for a third party install: http://www.videolan.org/developers/vlc/doc/doxygen/html/ group__libvlc.html

One caveat is that an external with libvlc would need to be open sourced under the GPL, if I'm not misstaken. But VLC runs on more OSes then Rev itself, and could probably be an ideal companion:

On another note - Linux and QuickTime. Are there any options for a Rev solution using QuickTime to be compiled for Linux and use one of the QuickTime replacements like "QuickTime for Linux" that seem to exist?
Right now we are stuck with the very antiquated xAnim. I am hoping that the next release of Rev that supports Linux will have this little problem resolved. There is an enhancement request in BZ 2290 for improved multimedia support for Linux.

Last time I looked into the QuickTime for Linux project it was pretty anemic. Of course so it XAnim.

What current video APIs are available for Linux? And in terms of features, how do they compare with QT?
