From DiracWiki

SchroQT is a QuickTime component for MacOS/X that uses Schroedinger to encode and decode Dirac video streams. When installed, the component allows users to play QuickTime (.mov) files that contain Dirac video streams, as well as export QuickTime files with Dirac streams, using any application that uses QuickTime. A few such applications are QuickTime Player and Final Cut.

An alpha binary of SchroQT is available at:

http://www.schleef.org/~ds/SchroQTCodec.component.zip

Download this file, unzip it, and move the component into $HOME/Library/QuickTime (for personal use) or /Library/QuickTime/ (for system-wide use).

A test file is available at:

http://www.schleef.org/~ds/office.mov

The test file should play in QuickTime Player.

[edit] Features

- Supports Mac OS/X 10.4 or higher

- Supports PowerPC and Intel CPUs

[edit] Limitations

"Haven't gotten to it yet" limitations:

- Only 4:2:2 video is supported

- Only the HDTV colorspace (ITU-R BT.709) is supported

- Playback speed is limited due to QuickTime strangeness.

- The "quality" setting in the encoding dialog does not do anything.

[edit] Development

Compiling SchroQT requires having Xcode installed. Xcode 3.0 is recommended.

Source code for SchroQT is in the git repository git://diracvideo.org/git/schro-qt.git

The script 'build-schro-sdk' will build the multi-architecture libraries necessary for the SchroQT component. Run this before compiling the Xcode project.

Build the SchroQT Xcode project.
