Hello.
I just watched the "WWDC 2004 - Graphics and Media State of the Union" stream from Apple.
It is a talk that introduces Tiger Media and Multimedia features: CoreAudio, CoreImage, CoreVideo and QuickTime 7.
When showing QuickTime 7, the main point of the talk seems to be that QT now is based on the OS Cocoa and CoreAudio/Image/Video technologies, and this is what allows them to achieve much higher performance, adding also some new features.
They emphasize so much on that QT7/Tiger integration that I was wondering: what about Windows ?
Windows does not have CoreAudio/Image/Video. When they talk about these technologies Apple are proud to be the "only ones" to get these things.
So will QT7 for windows exist ? If yes, will it achieve the same performance than QT7 for Tiger ?
Another question could be: what about QT7 on Panther/Jaguar, which don't have these CoreImage/Video API ?
I mean, H.264 is cool. But if I cannot share my H.264 clips with my friends where's the good ?
Have a good day,
Pierre.
Note: of course Apple will release QT7 for Windows with H.264. Maybe they will even release a QT7 or H.264 module for Panther. But the point here is about performance. They insist so much in this tight Tiger/QT7 integration that it kind of blows away the multiplatform nature of QuickTime. ;-)
