26. August 2006: libquicktime-0.9.10 released

This is a bugfix release, no new features were added.

Bugs fixed:

Fixed writing of compressed frames. This is an important feature for dvgrab and kino.
Fixed seeking for some codecs
The sourcetree and CVS got cleaned up.

The previous release, however, from libquicktime-0.9.9 (29. June 2006) had some important new features:

Read/Write support for: DVCPRO50 video, OpenDML AVIs, mp4/m4a files and Quicktime 7 lpcm audio
H.264 encoding using x264.
Greatly improved and tested file compatibility. Files created by libquicktime are known to be playable on the following players:
- Quicktime 7: mov files with AAC or LPCM audio and MPEG-4 ASP or H.264/AVC video. Multichannel informations are supported (and correctly recognized) as well. Furthermore, Quicktime 7 plays our .mp4 and .m4a files, without multichannel though. Reading/writing of iTunes metadata works as well. For video encoding, the recommendation is to use conservative codec settings. Savest is to start with the defaults and then explore what's supported.
  - Divx player: AVI with mp3 and DivX (3.11 or 4+). Slightly better ODML support.
Much more and better organized/documented ffmpeg encoding options.
Support for multipass encoding. Multipass enabled encoders are ffmpeg and x264.

Transcode, Kino and Open Movie Editor are among the applications who rely on libquicktime for Quicktime-support.

Support for Quicktime v7 MP4 files is a good reason to upgrade your version of libquicktime.
