I might have some proof of QT 6 soon.

Here is an email I reply I recieved from Sorenson Media (pals of QT)

------------------------------------------

Yes, the shipping SBWin already supports Sorenson MPEG-4. SB Mac version 2.0 will support it as well which will be released in March of 2002 .

Thanks,
Support

Will Sorenson broadcaster be updated to stream mpeg 4 audio (ACC) when Quicktime 6 is released. Will you release an update to your products when quicktime is released?

i hope that quicktime 6 will be realeased in or before march. The mpeg 4 support should be really cool

[Ensign Paris]

I hope .avi files work ok! Without any translation! :)

[Choppaface]

the question is, is it just mpeg 4 support or is it divx support too

[AmbitiousLemon]

nerveosu: i love how you got them to basically tell you when qt6 was coming out. hard to believe they would let it slip like that. i guess they figured everyone knows its soon and apple wont make to big a deal out of it (otehr than to showcase it on some new hardware (g5?))

im GUESSing if it supports mpeg4 (like everyone is suspecting) then it would simply be a matter of getting the proper codex for your unstandard .avi files (like divx).

for you video guys out there does this sound logical?

[Choppaface]

um, it would be no different from QT5. if QT5 had mpeg-4 support, I believe you'd have the same problem trying to get divx codecs to work

[kidtronix]

divx is a hacked version of the microsoft codec., i doubt that quicktime would be able to play (the hacked) without a plugin which apple themselves will most likely not include.
