qt (pronounced cute) is a QuickTime movie player for the
Amiga. I wrote this program because I wanted something
CPU-intense to run on my 68060, so it's main purpose is to eat
computrons, the fact that it also plays movies rather nicely is
just a side effect. :)
The requirements for running qt are:
· 68020 CPU or better
· AmigaOS 2.04 or better
Depending on the actual movie, and the replay mode selected,
an 020 may very well be a tad under specced...
QuickTime animation formats currently supported are:
· RLE
· Cinepak
· Road Pizza
· JPEG
· SMC
· RAW
Audio codecs supported are:
· MACE
· IMA4
Changes from V1.4:
- Complete rewrite; all XAnim based code has been tossed
out the window, player now uses a module based software
architecture, all video codecs faster than before,
audio/video synchronization much improved.
- qt now defaults to playing directly from disk, heavily
reducing memory requirements and upstart time.
- Added support for AmigaOS 2.04.
- Added support for OCS and ECS (68020+ still required).
- Public screen replay is now possible for all screen
modes.
- Video can be saved as a sequence of ILBM images.
- Audio can be saved as an 8SVX file.
- Interactive transport control (pause and seek) added.
- Nice GUI for improved transport control added.
- New switches: PAUSE, NOQUIT, BUFFERED, GUI,
SAVEVIDEO, SAVEAUDIO
- HAM8 switch renamed to HAM, due to OCS/ECS support.
- Stereo sound now possible with both audio.device and AHI.
- 16bit sound implemented for AHI audio mode.
- Proper implementation of stereo IMA4 sound.
- GRAY switch now always enables grayscale playback.
- Dither/HAM replay now possible for palette based movies
as well.
- Double buffering now used for native screenmodes.
- MacBinary files can now be played directly.
