QuickTime

QuickTime is Apple’s solution for cross-platform multimedia APIs. It provides the capability to manipulate video data, still images, animations, vector graphics, multichannel sound, MIDI music, 360-degree panoramic objects, and more. It supports more than 70 different types of file formats encompassing the most common multimedia and compression standards including MP3, Flash 4, MPEG-1, JavaScript, JPEG, PhotoShop, and more.
