qt - a QuickTime player for the Amiga
Overview
qt is a QuickTime player i wrote for my A4000 because I wanted something
for my new 68060 to chew on. I then added CyberGraphX capabilities to give
my new CyberVision64 something to chew on. Then I released it, and people
started using it. Which of course prompted people to start nagging about
features they wanted added. Some of these I have implemented, and today
the status of qt is something like this:
- System requirements
- 68020 CPU or better, AmigaOS 2.0 or better.
- Supported animation formats
- RLE, Cinepak, Road Pizza, JPEG, SMC
- Supported sound formats
- RAW, TWOS, IMA4, MAC3, MAC6
Download
The latest avaiable version is qt2.0. You can get it from:
Documentation
The AmigaGuide documentation is available online.
Screenshots
I realize this is kind of silly as you won't be able to see anything move
or hear any sound, but nevertheless I've prepared
a screenshot of qt playing a movie on a
Workbench screen for you...

News flash!!! qt 2.0 has now been submitted to AmiNet.
