Re: QTJava will be depreciated next year. Alex Shaykevich Mon Jul 14 13:04:52 2008 

I don't think Apple is really worried about losing mindshare in the Java video 
playback front.  Java 7 has already promised on2 video codec support so 
playback in Java is a non-issue.  ffmpeg, FOBS, FMJ, etc... are useless when it 
comes to meaningful editing so the question of editing support is the only 
meaningful one worth asking.

What I'd like to know is what the future of Quicktime is on Windows?  Will 
there be a 64 bit QT X on Vista?  What's going to happen to the COM wrapper?  
If so, there is some hope of a cross-platform wrapper API.  

At this point, certainly, relying on Apple for Quicktime Java support would not 
be wise.

Cheers,

A
