Frameworks (1):
-
Video for Windows: Microsoft platforms, proprietary standard, .AVI file format, codecs: Indeo, Cinepak, M-JPEG, MPEG
-
SW and HW decoders, DCI support, MCI application interface, disk oriented
-
Advantages: easy to integrate with applications; disadvantages: network support requires non-trivial custom programming
-
Quite spectacular new Indeo Video Interactive wavelet-based codec...
-
QuickTime: Apple (secondary: Windows XX, SGI), proprietary standard, general isochronous delivery framework, codecs: JPEG, Cinepak....
-
Modest video quality, no explicit network support (integration with OpenTransport pending), SW only
-
Popular Video CD/Games technology, spectacular QT-VR extension
-
Limited acceptance - rarely considered as professional network digital video platform
