Re: QTJava will be depreciated next year.




it will be interesting to see what happens with Flash, Sliverlight, JavaFx and HRML<video>.


I'm glad to see we have so many options still; but I'm also sad to see QTJava being laid to rest. I'd like to thank Bill for making QTJava happen all them moons ago, I'd also like to thank the Apple Java team back then for letting us have access to so much media magic. Enabling myself and many of my friends in the Design world create work beyond the 'click here to play'.

I'm not so sure about the capabilities or direction of the new '4'; seems lead by marketing not design (mb).
If this is the end of QTJava; thanks for the great ride (makes a backup).

I'm sorry, I can't agree with this warning/threat.  Right now, the
simple playback leader is Flash video, because of a very compelling
deployment story.  What will be interesting is the effect of getting
the HTML5 <video> tag supported in more and more browsers -- there's a
large class of developers that only needs playback and maybe a little
bit of interactivity ("on click, go to time x"), which is easily
supported with JavaScript.  This works today in Safari and the WebKit
nightlies (Firefox too, I think?), and with WebKit, you could put that
kind of approach in a Dashboard widget, among other things.

---> have you tried Silverlight's video playback btw? (www.silverlight.net ).
Any comments on that one? (since the Beta supports a subset of the .NET
runtime, one could possibly use Java to C# convertion [or a transcoding
compiler] and a QTJ compatibility layer to make their QTJava app compile for
Silverlight)
