A shame that Apple invented yet another pro- > prietary format. Actually the .mov format is completely open an fully documented IIRC. The problem is the Sorenson codec everybody uses in them these days. Even lowly xanim will play pretty much any non-Sorenson Quicktime you throw at it these days. What I don't understand is why nobody has taken the windows Quicktime player and write a wine wrapper around it for some Linux player. It worked for DivX, it seems like it should work for Sorenson as well. > Maybe Jordan can get us a .mov player for BSD ...?

IIRC Apple has some very good sounding reason for not releasing the codec. -- \ |_ _|__ __|_ \ __| Jason Andresen jandrese@mitre.org |\/ | | | / _| Network and Distributed Systems Engineer _| _|___| _| _|_\___| Office: 703-883-7755 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
