I have some code that takes JPEG images and makes a slide show
movie. In an attempt to make the movie smaller, I tried converting
each image to .jp2 format before adding it as a sample.
Does that actually make things smaller?
I got a movie that was all black. As a test, I used the same
methods to convert to .png before adding each image as a sample, and
that worked (though of course the movie was bigger). Are there only
certain formats that can be used as samples in a movie?
How exactly are you using the files as samples? While a JPEG image
file happens to be the same format as a JPEG sample in a QuickTime
movie, that isn't true of all file formats that QuickTime can import.
Instead the image importer can do things like parse headers and turn
them in to relevant QuickTime meta data, and then for the sample just
reference the part of the file that contains the image data, minus
the headers. If you just stuff the whole file in as a sample in a
case like that, then it won't work. You need to feed the image file
to an image importer, and then get the data with functions like
GraphicsImportGetImageDescription,
GraphicsImportGetDataOffsetAndSize, and GraphicsImportReadData.
