Re: [WSG] accessible audio-visual content

GPL isn't the only definition of an "open standard", but I'd agree -- QuickTime specs for the latest codecs aren't made freely available by Apple! Projects like MPlayer and Xine (at least, I think they've developed their own, and haven't used prior work...) have reverse engineered implementations

Re: [WSG] accessible audio-visual content

One quick question about Quicktime - my colleague said Quicktime is a Bad Idea because the file sizes are big and it doesn't have a big installed base... is this a good enough reason not to use it? Vicki That's an opinion from a distinctly Windows perspective. It would be interesting to see you

Re: [WSG] accessible audio-visual content
