What Is QuickTime
QuickTime is the industry standard for multimedia programming and application development, with a rich and evolving API comprised of more than 2700 function calls. Its component-based architecture is highly extensible, enabling applications to display, import, export, modify, and capture a broad range of digital media, including audio, video, still images, text, Flash, MIDI, sprites, VR panoramas, among other media types.
QuickTime is designed from the ground up to work with local disk-based media, media accessed over a network, or streams of real–time data.
QuickTime is cross–platform: most of the technologies provided by the QuickTime architecture are available to both MacOS and Windows platforms.
