[MacDV] Re: video on my phone

[Gerhard Kuhn]

The following is quoted from Your Mac Life.  So to create video for 
cell phones QT Pro updated to 6.4 running under OS 10.3 is helpful or 
maybe necessary.   Reading it made me think that this is going to be a 
feature that Panther will make easier to do and possibly motivate 
people to buy Panther.

Apple on Thursday released QuickTime 6.4, a new version of its 
multimedia technology. The software is now available for download 
through the Apple Web site or through the Software Updates system 
preferences pane in Mac OS X.

The new version of QuickTime "integrates extensive support for 3GPP," 
according to Apple, including video, audio, text and native .3GP file 
format support. 3GPP is a multimedia technology gaining speed with 
cellular telephones and other mobile devices.

Additionally, QuickTime v6.4 adds performance improvements to DV 
encoding and decoding in Mac OS X, and enhanced playback of both SD and 
HD streams.

This new version supports Pixlet, the studio-grade codec previously 
described by Apple for its forthcoming Mac OS X v10.3 ("Panther") 
release. Pixlet is only supported by Mac OS X v10.3.

Support has been added for Java v1.4.1. Java developers can integrate 
QuickTime into their applications through QuickTime's Application 
Programming Interfaces (APIs).
