qt (pronounced cute) is a QuickTime movie player for the
Amiga.  I wrote this program because I wanted something
CPU-intense to run on my 68060, so it's main purpose is to eat
computrons, the fact that it also plays movies rather nicely is
just a side effect.  :)

The requirements for running qt are:

 · 68020 CPU or better
 · AmigaOS 2.04 or better

Depending on the actual movie, and the replay mode selected,
an 020 may very well be a tad under specced...


QuickTime animation formats currently supported are:

 · RLE
 · Cinepak
 · Road Pizza
 · JPEG
 · SMC
 · RAW


Audio codecs supported are:

 · MACE
 · IMA4


Changes from V1.4:

  - Complete rewrite; all XAnim based code has been tossed
    out the window, player now uses a module based software
    architecture, all video codecs faster than before,
    audio/video synchronization much improved.
  - qt now defaults to playing directly from disk, heavily
    reducing memory requirements and upstart time.
  - Added support for AmigaOS 2.04.
  - Added support for OCS and ECS (68020+ still required).
  - Public screen replay is now possible for all screen
    modes.
  - Video can be saved as a sequence of ILBM images.
  - Audio can be saved as an 8SVX file.
  - Interactive transport control (pause and seek) added.
  - Nice GUI for improved transport control added.
  - New switches: PAUSE, NOQUIT, BUFFERED, GUI,
    SAVEVIDEO, SAVEAUDIO
  - HAM8 switch renamed to HAM, due to OCS/ECS support.
  - Stereo sound now possible with both audio.device and AHI.
  - 16bit sound implemented for AHI audio mode.
  - Proper implementation of stereo IMA4 sound.
  - GRAY switch now always enables grayscale playback.
  - Dither/HAM replay now possible for palette based movies
    as well.
  - Double buffering now used for native screenmodes.
  - MacBinary files can now be played directly.
