Best way to export a QTMovie with a fade-in and fade-out in the audio

I want to take a QTMovie that I have and export it with the audio fading in and fading out for a predetermined amount of time. I want to do this within Cocoa as much as possible. The movie will likely only have audio in it. My research has turned up a couple of possibilities: Use the newer Audio Context Insert APIs. http://developer.ap...

Creating MP4/M4A files with Chapter marks

I am trying to join together several audio files into one mp4/m4a file containing chapter metadata. I am currently using QTKit to do this but unfortunately when QTKit exports to m4a format the metadata is all stripped out (this has been confirmed as a bug by Apple) see sample code. I think this rules QTKit out for this job, but would be...

Setting movie metadata with QTKit

I'm trying to convert old QuickTime framework code to the 64-bit Cocoa-based QTKit on OS X, which means that I can't drop down to the straight C function calls at any time. Specifically, I'm trying to find a way to write QuickTime VR movies with QTKit, as they require some special metadata to set the display controller. How can I do th...

Accessing hidden embedded quicktime audio

I'm trying to write a simple audio player for a website, and am using the EMBED... tag to embed the audio and setting HIDDEN="true" and using various javascript commands to control the audio playback.

Installing just Quicktime libraries on Windows

There's Quicktime SDK for Windows, but any application that uses it needs quicktime runtime libraries to be installed on the system (SDK itself just has headers and library stubs, and not the actual DLLs). If my application uses Quicktime, I'd like to install the necessary libraries with it's installer, thus not requiring user to instal...

QTVR-like Panorama in Flash/ActionScript?

It has been a few years since I used Actionscript. Back in the day, I made a project that emulated a QTVR panorama (at the time I was using Flash, you could only embed very basic mov files) by simply moving a very long flattened pano image left or right behind a mask. The effect was okay, but not as nice as a real pano, since the perspec...

SetURL method of QuickTime object undefined?

I have a hidden embedded QuickTime object on my page that I'm trying to control via JavaScript, but it's not working.

QuickTime video codec configuration

So I'm porting an app from Windows to Mac, and part of the app deals with creating movie files. On Windows, there's a group of functions like ICOpen and ICConfigure, which signify to the video compression driver to open up a configuration box for the selected codec. Is there anything like that for QuickTime on Mac? ...

Setting QTMovie attributes

I'm trying to create a QTVR movie via QTKit, and I've got all the frames in the movie. However, setting the attributes necessary doesn't seem to be having any effect. For example: NSNumber *val = [NSNumber numberWithBool:YES]; [fMovie setAttribute:val forKey:QTMovieIsInteractiveAttribute]; val = [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO]; [fMovie ...

IV50 codec (.AVI) to something else, e.g. QuickTime (.MOV)

I have some old .AVI files made by my kids with a Logitech webcam that I can not view. They seem to be encoded using IV50. Does anyone know of a tool to convert these files to something more widely supported, like Quciktime? (movavi seems to do it but I only have a few .AVI files to convert and I'd rather not have to buy something.) ...

How to password protect streaming videos with php

What is the best way to password protect quicktime streaming videos using php/.htaccess. They are being streamed using rtsp, but I can use other formats if necessary.

In-memory mime-type detection with Cocoa (OS X)?

Hello everyone, My application is a viewer for a custom format, a zip file with a well defined XML manifest and resources, such as images and movies. I use zlib to open up the zip file in memory and then proceed to display said resources. One problem I've ran into is that I'm unable to properly display videos, apparently because QTMov...

HTML Link opening a page that Redirect to a Quicktime .MOV file displays garbage characters in IE when Target is _blank

Hi, I have a .NET page that does a Response.Redirect to a Quicktime .mov file. When I create a link to this .NET page, if the link opens in the same window (i.e. no Target defined on the anchor tag), all is good and IE displays the Quicktime movie just fine. However if I set the Target of the link to "_blank" which opens a new window, I...

There is nothing wrong with the file. The ...

Does GetMovieAudioVolumeLevels() support more than two channels of audio?

I have some code that uses GetMovieAudioVolumeLevels() to get levels of a QuickTime movie during playback. I have an 8 audio channel QuickTime movie, but using the GetMovieAudioVolumeLevels() call it only ever returns 2 channels. I am using kQTAudioMeter_DeviceMix, and right now I'm assuming because my MacPro can only actually playback ...

How does one store the "original capture date" metadata item for a QuickTime movie?

Quicktime has a rich metadata API, allowing one to store all sorts of arbitrary data on a .mov file (or one of its streams). I'm looking for the standard key name and value format for storing the shooting date for a video clip, analogous to EXIF's DateTimeOriginal. The following discussion at the apple site makes it seem like there may...

Why is movie jumpy when I play simultaneously in 2 Cocoa views?

I have a Cocoa app that has two views. Both of these views are a subclass of QTMovieView. I want to play the same movie in both views (one view is a smaller preview of the larger view).
