Thanks for using open code Apple and contributing bug fixes to CUPS Konqui etc.

Now: RELEASE A VERSION OF QUICKTIME THAT WORKS ON UNIX

Sorry for the all caps ... Apple has almost 8 years to do this and they SIMPLY WILL NOT DO IT.

If you do it I will help whn it comes tine to convert/port Quartz to something the Adobe doesn't OWN (hmm fresco and SVG ... heheh).

Considering that Mac OS X is FreeBSD 4.4 with a pseudo Mach/BSD Kernel (Darwin), with Coccoa and Carbon APIs derived from Next, and a Quartz/ PDF rendering engine ...

I'd say that Apple *does* have a version of Quicktime that works on UNIX. ;-)

apple cannot release quicktime opensource due to the licensing agreement with sorensen, also in the new quicktime, Mpeg4 is used and that works on all platforms...

Who said they need to make it open source? Real Player 8 is closed source and works fine (albeit not supported, I think I remembering seeing a Real One for Linux, but Real Player 8 works fine for me without much fluff).

I've tried using Mplayer to play Quicktime, and I've gotten audio but no video. Granted, I might have been doing something wrong. Mplayer is great though, its better at playing DivX then Windows Media Player in my experience.

At first when I read about this at OS News I could barely believe it. I don't know if being on Apple puts KHTML in the "mainstream" but it certainly puts it out there.

When did you try MPlayer for Quicktime? I believe it's a recent development that MPlayer caught up to the most recent Quicktime codec. If you haven't tried it in the past month or so, give the latest version a shot.

I built mplayer with QT6 support on debian a couple of weeks ago, and it worked just fine for everything I threw at it. It's worth noting, however, that it uses the Win32 QT libraries for decoding, just like it does with the other Win32 libs that mplayer can use.

Yeah, it works, but it'd be nice to see an official, supported version of QT on a *nix platform. (and please, make some .debs available? ;) )

Mac OS X is a "*nix platform".
