About OpenQuicktime.

OpenQuicktime is a small library that allows you to load, create and manipulate
QuickTime files. Audio and video decoding and encoding is provided using a
plug-in mechanism.
Unfortunately, there are very few codecs available by now.

The library is provided with two codecs plugs-in:
 * PhotoJPEG codec, based on libjpeg (not included)
 * MP3 codec, based on mpg123 and lame (both included)
The 3ivx commercial codec (http://www.3ivx.com) also chose to develop a 
version of its codec in the form of a binary OpenQuicktime plug-in, 
available soon!

This library is based on the QT4Linux library  by Adam Williams
(http://heroinewarrior.com/quicktime.php3) with some additions (plug-in
mechanism, compressed header handling, modern audio codecs support, ...), 
removal of all built-in codecs (they will be soon included
as plugs-in), and portability improvement.

This library is released under the LGPL license (see COPYING).
The original lame code, mpglib code and QT4Linux code were released under
the LPGL license.
