Free quicktime media decompressor software for mac

Xiph QuickTime Components 0.1.9 is a perfect way for Mac users who want to use Xiph formats in any QuickTime-based application, e.g. playing Ogg Vorbis in iTunes or producing Ogg Theora with iMovie. Xiph QuickTime Components (XiphQT) is a set of QuickTime and Macintosh OS X plug-ins.

Major Features:

1. Provides support for Xiph media compression and container formats.
2. If you are an end user: installing XiphQT components is all you need to start using Xiph-formatted media files in a variety of applications - for example, listening to Ogg/Vorbis files in QuickTime Player or iTunes. The programming interfaces used in XiphQT allow the provided functionality to be available transparently to all media handling applications using QuickTime or OS X component mechanisms.
3. If you are a programmer, you have built a Macintosh Core Audio or QuickTime-based application and would like to add Xiph formats support: most of the time there is hardly anything you will need to do to add support.

Enhancements:

• Reduced memory usage
• Fixed playback of HD content
• Fixed leaking memory when handling files containing Theora streams (#1379)
• Added code to make Ogg exporter work with iMovie '08
• Added code to properly handle bigger packets in Theora decoder allowing XiphQT to handle HD content without visual artifacts.

QuickTime QuickBatch 1.0 is a simple to use, yet sophisticated application for one-click conversion of multiple media files using 18 export settings in QuickTime Player. Options available for getting full conversion info on media files, choice of recent or default conversion settings and file replacing.

Streaming Media Calculator 1.5 is regarded as a feature-rich and trustworthy utility to aid you in calculating various things about your streaming QuickTime* media file. You can use it to see how different variables such as stream rate, length of stream and file size will affect your bandwidth usage -- and therefore your costs.

QMedia 1.5.2 is considered as an effective plug-in that allows 4D applications to include, play back, edit and integrate tightly with all digital media types supported by QuickTime, Apple's award-winning, industry standard, multimedia technology. QMedia broadens the spectrum of applications that 4D developers can address by transforming 4th Dimension into a multimedia container and content development environment. Applications written with QMedia can be deployed accross platforms, as well as in heterogeneous client-server configurations.

Major Features:

1. Embed multimedia in your forms: Play back in 4D forms or external windows all QuickTime-supported media (still images, standard movies, VR movies, animated GIFs, sounds, music, MIDI, MPEG on Mac, etc). Control the visibility of the movie area and of the movie controller (in whole or in parts). Detatch the movie from its controller, and place each independently inside the plug-in area. Configure the area for movie editing, looping, keystroke handling and drag and drop to the Macintosh desktop. With QMedia 1.5 you can also get audio metering information and display custom sound level indicators.
2. Handle user and QuickTime events: QMedia gives programmatic access to many user events and QuickTime events through callback methods. Trap specific event types, examine event-specific properties, take some action, and finally decide and tell QuickTime if it should handle the event or not. Some of the things you can do with event handlers are:
   • Trap mouse clicks. The user will not be able to start or stop the movie with the mouse.
   • Track the custom button of the movie controller. When the mouse moves over a hot spot in a VR movie, search the database for information related to the hot spot.
   • Track user navigation history in a multinode VR movie and use it to populate a popup menu. The user can go back to already visited nodes by selecting from the history popup menu.
3. Access movie properties down to track level: Get and set numerous movie properties like volume, rate, duration, time scale, movie preview, poster frame, annotations etc. Access and modify movie tracks and track properties (create, delete, enable/disable, track volume, duration, graphics mode, transformation matrix, etc.)
4. Control VR movies: Fully integrate virtual reality (VR) movies in your database. Change pan, tilt and field of view angles, and other properties. Get node and hotspot information. Use event handling to create database-driven VR tours of museums, buildings, collections etc.
5. Publish database data with QuickTime: Add media to movies: add pictures and image files to video tracks, text to text tracks to generate movies out of database data. For example, create a slide show of your annual report charts, publish your photo album database to a movie, add scrolling banners with styled, anti-aliased, drop-shadow text to your 4D forms. Additional support for text includes searching in text tracks and adding "chapter list" tracks to movies.
6. Media conversion and compression: QMedia includes commands for converting media formats with QuickTime's movie import and export components. Convert media files to movie files and export movies (or tracks thereof) to media files. Re-compress video and sound in movie tracks using the growing list of QuickTime codecs (Cinepak, Animation, Motion JPEG, Sorenson video, etc.)
7. Prepare movies for Internet delivery: Preparation of a movie for publishing on the world wide web is done with three lines of code. QMedia creates single-fork, self-contained, fast-start movies that stream when served to the browser QuickTime plug-in.
8. Capture audio and video using the sequence grabber: The QuickTime sequence grabber does frame grabbing from any media source that can be connected to your Mac or PC computer and has a QuickTime driver. Such media sources include video cameras, digital cameras, sound, music and text sources, etc.
