The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Quicktime::Info::MOOV
DSLIP: adpfp
description: Extract meta info from Quicktime movie files
userid: SHOGE (W. Scott Hoge)
chapterid: 23 (Miscellaneous_Modules)
communities:
similar:
Video::Info, RIFF::Info, Image::Info
rationale:
This module is designed to give fast, OS independent, access to the
meta (header) information in Quicktime Movie files.
The motivation for the development of this module was to aid in
thumbnail generation for HTML index files. Thus, only a limited
amount of information from is returned. This includes: + the
height/width (in pixels) of the movie in 'Normal' display mode + the
length (in seconds) of the movie, + the features (sample rate, bits
per sample) of the audio track (if any), + and most significantly,
the extraction of the preview PICT image (if any).
The code is based on the module template provided by the
Image::Info package.
As for the name space choice, it follows the RIFF::Info model.
Plans are in place to include access to this new modules from
Video::Info. The motivation for the root 'Quicktime' is that it
should be easy to expand the module to include Quicktime::Info::QTIF
for the Apple Quicktime Image Format, as the header infomation
format is similar.
Suggestions for other namespace locations are welcome.
