Quicktime and Matroska

[MarkCoolio]

@Matroska team:

just a question to the matroska developers: have u planned to make Quicktime possible within Matroska? Is there already somebody working on it?

@Gabest:

One question that I have and that you can hopefully help me with: is it possible for you to make a Quicktime Splitter such as you already have done with RealMedia Splitter?

Reason is: with Quicktime Alternative 1.11 installed I can only run Quicktime movies in your MPC (which is really great!) but would love to be able to play it in all directshow players too.

Is it possible? Or am I doing something wrong? Should it work already? If yes, how?

Thanks in advance

Markus

You mean Quicktime the container ? Because the codecs inside Quicktime files are as diverse as in AVI. There is no existing transmuxing files yet, but it should be possible someday. Yes, we thought about that already.

thanks for this fast reply!

Don't worry... actually it is not important for me to have quicktime format inside matroska. Was just wondering as I have the other question to gabest that I wrote in my first post.

Thanks anyways.

And: I am really astonished about the great work that has already been done on Matroska! Keep it going :)

There is already quite a few mov splitter around.

It would be really nice if gabest can (again) make a dshow wrapper or something to decode Sorenson though:p

Plase make it happen, mighty gabest.

@dillee:

where can I get these mov splitters??? do you have a link or could email it to me?

[dillee1]

Windows has a built in splitter for old mov. 3ivx media splitter is able to split mov and mp4 too.

The problem is common video codec used in quicktime is Sorenson, and there is no dshow decoder for it (yet).

If mp4v video and aac/mp3 audio is used in the mov, 3ivx decoders can decode it with no problem, even with old non-compilant sorenson mpeg4.

In the last ffdshow (11072003)there is a svq3 in the codec list, isn't it the sorenson libavcodec decoder ?

[dillee1]

Wow, that is a private built. I didnt c it:p

Just tried to decode SVQ3 stream. Pins can be connected with both QT splitter and Sivx media splitter, but when the graph is play it crashed.

Still no luck. Anybody else tried it??
