This is useful for reading and writing files in the Quicktime format. The goal of the project is to enhance, while providing compatibility with, the Quicktime 4 Linux library. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libquicktime-md5sum; Download size: &libquicktime-size; Estimated disk space required: &libquicktime-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libquicktime-time; libquicktime Dependencies Optional , , , , , , , , , FFmpeg from CVS, x264, FAAC and FAAD2 (a CVS version required to play all files) User Notes: Installation of libquicktime Install libquicktime by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make If you have installed and wish to create the API documentation, issue: doxygen. This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/libquicktime-&libquicktime-version;/api && install -v -m644 README doc/{*.html,mainpage.incl} \ /usr/share/doc/libquicktime-&libquicktime-version; If you created the API documentation, install it by issuing the following command as the root user: install -v -m644 doc/html/* /usr/share/doc/libquicktime-&libquicktime-version;/api Command Explanations : This option can be used to force libquicktime to use a specified version of FFmpeg to build the FFmpeg plugin module. Tip: build FFmpeg (don't use ) and install it in a private directory. Then build libquicktime, substituting the private directory name for <DIRECTORY NAME>. You can now safely remove <DIRECTORY_NAME>, as the FFmpeg libavcodec library was statically linked into the libquicktime FFmpeg module. Contents Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories libquicktime_config, lqt-config, lqt_transcode, lqtplay, qtdechunk, qtdump, qtinfo, qtrechunk, qtstreamize and qtyuv4toyuv libquicktime.so and several plugin codec libraries /usr/include/lqt, /usr/lib/libquicktime and /usr/share/doc/libquicktime-&libquicktime-version; Short Descriptions libquicktime_config is a graphical front end to examine and configure the available libquicktime audio and video codecs. libquicktime_config lqt-config is a simple program used to query the libquicktime installation settings and plugin information. lqt-config lqt_transcode is a command-line program used to encode video and/or audio files from one format to another. lqt_transcode lqtplay is a simple Quicktime movie player for X11. lqtplay qtdechunk can take movies containing rgb frames and write them out as ppm images. qtdechunk qtrechunk concatenates input frames into a Quicktime movie. qtrechunk qtyuv4toyuv is used to write a YUV4 encoded movie as a planar YUV 4:2:0 file. qtyuv4toyuv libquicktime.so is a library for reading and writing Quicktime files. It provides convenient access to Quicktime files with a variety of supported codecs. The library contains new functions integrated with all the original Quicktime 4 Linux library functions used to encode and decode Quicktime files. libquicktime.so
