Dear all,
A new release of the Xiph QuickTime Components (
http://xiph.org/quicktime/ ) is finally out!
The most noteworthy features in 0.1.7 are: ability to produce Oggs,
5.1 support, progressive loading and simplified installation. More
details can be found in the release notes:
http://xiph.org/quicktime/release_notes.html
Also, a reminder for students: with the Google Summer of Code student
application deadline extended to March 26th (26th/27th midnight UTC)
there is still enough time to prepare a good application and there are
some XiphQT-related ideas. Speex and FLAC encoding support would be
good to have (podcasts?, high-quality content?) but other
functionality like OggSkeleton or CMML support could be useful, as
well. I guess, any Xiph.Org SoC project will have positive impact on
XiphQT this way or another, so if you still hesitate for some reasons
- don't! The Xiph.Org SoC project ideas can be found at:
