    <para>
      The <application>libquicktime</application> package contains the
      <filename class="libraryfile">libquicktime</filename> library, various
      plugins and codecs, along with graphical and command line utilities used
      for encoding and decoding QuickTime files. 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
      <application>Quicktime 4 Linux</application> library.
