Hmmm, interesting. So is QuickTime 10.next going to drop support completely, or? >> So Perian still might be an option for some users? That's actually >> very useful.

The posts on the Perian mailing list suggest that 10.9 is a no-go: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/perian-discuss/IJk8uZ5sQRY On Oct 27, 2013 12:18 PM, "Maxim Rixhon" <rixho...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > I'm writing you because this is impossible to use the codecs of > Perian in Mavericks.

Ah yes, I now understand :-) Compiling with the --enable-vlc switch disabled is our default behavior in TDF builds, so we should definitely be testing with that off when trying to diagnose media playback. At least for now. The future of audio/video playback on OS X looks pretty grim right now. If Apple demotes the QuickTime framework in 10.9 and does not mention a path forward for future OS revisions, then we should definitely make plans to find an alternative for multimedia playback. Multiple developers have spoken about problems with our attempts at VLC integration, but VLC or FFmpeg/LibAV sound like our best options going forward.
