OpenQTJ

Introduction

I've been working with QuickTime for Java off-and-on for almost 4 years and am a developer on the OpenQTJ project, which has the potential to develop into a useful resource for QuickTime for Java developers. I started work on a full-featured sample application for the OpenQTJ project, called OpenQTJ Player. I had hoped that others would join in and help, but that hasn't happened yet, so I've been focused on other things.

OpenQTJ and Related Projects

There are several open source projects closely related to OpenQTJ, so I thought I'd maintain a table of them on this page.

There's obviously some duplication of effort going on here, but each project seems to have it's own set of goals, and it's own license.
