Re: Current State of Quicktime for Java



Hi,

About a year ago I dipped into this list for a while. I was considering some
development with quicktime and spent some time evaluating the java option
with some basic apps from the SDK and some monitoring of the list for a
while. At the time there was a lot of discontent and a feeling that QT for
Java was becoming increasingly difficult to use with little support,
increasing depreciation of features and a lack of clarity regarding its
future. After that period of evaluation I decided to struggled on and try to
get all I could from the javascript interface. However, this this now seems
incapable of meeting my future needs. I was wondering what the consensus is
now. If you had a blank page would you go the QT for Java route?

At the Australian Apple University Consortium conference recently one of the presenters was about to start work at Apple in Cupertino, apparently working on QuickTime for Java. So there are obviously some resources still being devoted to it.


I'm hoping there'll be some stuff (especially for video grabbing) left that's not deprecated!

Have fun,
Shay
