Brings back the "good old days" the often heard cry from the
electronic woods (in this forum): "that Quicktime is only a container
- and that the codecs that sucked badly (the blockies and mosquitoes
ad nauseam) - in the past - were not Apple's fault".
Now-a-days, Quicktime's focus is definitely on the variations of the
H.264/AVC codec (at least from Apple own business perspective - iTune/
Video Ipod sales of movies etc.) .
H.264 AVC was/is supposed to be a standard. The notion was(is?) that
a H.264/AVC movie encoded with Apple's own H.264 encoder would play
well on all H.264 AVC decoders - it's called a standard, like NTSC is
a standard. The $64,000 question is: "is anyone in the H.264/AVC
encoder/decoder industry actually compliant?
According to some people CORE is the "best" H.264/AVC Decoder around.
If that's true - does Apple Quicktime's H.264 play in the CORE H.264
Decoder. That's a pretty understandable question about Quicktime's
own H.264 codec - at least, to anyone in business.
Pretty sure he meant just what he said - CORE AVC is not available
as a Quicktime component. Since you specifically mentioned their
*decoder* Charles' response was dead-on - this is a Quicktime list,
their decoder doesn't run in Quicktime, therefore... off-topic?
If you were actually meaning to ask about their *encoder* and it's
compatibility with *Quicktime's decoder* then the source of
confusion is obvious.
So what were you asking again?
