Sorenson3 should work with QT5.x, although i seem to remember there were
teething troubles with some of the very earliest releases. I might be

BTW, there's an excellent resource here for checking codecs against

I'd like to see more detail in the point releases, but it is still pretty
good if you have to deliver for an older install.
