A gateway for rich media including images, music, MIDI, MP3 and more, QuickTime lets you experience more than 200 kinds of digital media with your Mac or PC and it offers unparalleled quality, ease of use and functionality. Apple today issued security updates to its QuickTime 7.3.1 software (Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Windows) for Mac OS X 10.3.9 Panther, 10.4.9 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, and Windows Vista/XP SP2 that bolsters security. The Cupertino-based company also enhanced its GarageBand audio software. GarageBand 4.1.1 features better overall stability and fixes to issues with file export to iPhone. Specific security issues addressed in Apple's latest QuickTime update follow: Viewing a maliciously crafted RTSP movie may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution Description: A buffer overflow exists in QuickTime's handling of Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) headers. By enticing a user to view a maliciously crafted RTSP movie, an attacker may cause an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by ensuring that the destination buffer is sized to contain the data. This issue affects Mac OS X 10.3.9, Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, Mac OS X 10.5 or later, and Windows Vista/XP SP2. Viewing a maliciously crafted QTL file may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution Description: A heap buffer overflow exists in QuickTime's handling of QTL files. By enticing a user to view a maliciously crafted QTL file, an attacker may cause an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue through improved bounds checking. This issue affects Mac OS X 10.3.9, Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, Mac OS X 10.5 or later, and Windows Vista/XP SP2 Multiple vulnerabilities in QuickTime's Flash media handler Description: Multiple vulnerabilities exist in QuickTime's Flash media handler, the most serious of which may lead to arbitrary code execution. With this update, the Flash media handler in QuickTime is disabled except for a limited number of existing QuickTime movies that are known to be safe. Credit to Tom Ferris of Adobe Secure Software Engineering Team (ASSET), Mike Price of McAfee Avert Labs, and security researchers Lionel d'Hauenens & Brian Mariani of Syseclabs for reporting this issue.

Ltd., the MPEG-4 Video & Audio specialist, announces the immediate availability of version 5.0.2 of the 3ivx MPEG-4 compression suite for Windows, Mac OS X & Linux. This release boasts secure, stable and highly compatible components for authoring and playback of MPEG-4 media. Version 5.0.2 fortifies the 3ivx MPEG-4 Filter suite against software exploitation from maliciously crafted video files. All users of 3ivx are urged to update to version 5.0.2 to secure their systems from this type of attack. Also new in this release is improved Vista compatibility and additional QuickTime 7.3 compatibility making this the most stable and compatible release for 3ivx to date. Important Changes: Critical Security Fixes, see http://secunia.com/advisories/27998/ QuickTime 7.3 Compatibility Improved Vista Comaptibility Dualpass and Constant Bitrate Fixes DirectShow Seeking Fixes Improvements: DS Media Muxer Now based on lib3ivx DS Video Decoder Now based on lib3ivx DS Video Encoder Now based on lib3ivx VFW Codec Now based on lib3ivx Register Provides user feedback by validating serials on the fly and updating GUI accordingly More informative registration success dialog Win Installer Now built under Windows Vista Uninstaller is now digitaly signed More robust when other applications have a lock on our dll's Bugs Fixed: Core Corrected type declaration for final MAD calculation for Vista OS Fixed DS components crashing if core Params couldn't be created Fixed a core configuration bug which caused dual pass encoding to under or overshoot target bitrate. Fixed a Constant Bitrate bug causing bitrate overshooting. Fixed a bistream bug when QP is set to 1. Fixed y420 -> uyvy packed conversion crash under AltiVec PowerPCs General stability clean up Fixed leaking file handle Fixed deadlock while seeking a video Fixed memory leaks Fixed a bug where delay frames were being marked as I-Frames and hence caused seeking mispredictions DS Decoder Now correctly sets output pin dimensions Fixed decoder leaking frames on shutdown Fixed misprediction when quick seeking Fixed double frame display whilst quick seeking DS Encoder Fixed a crash where the output buffer frame size was larger than the statically assigned size Now correctly sets output bounds Fixed a buffer overrun DS Splitter Fixed a crash where the input buffer frame size was larger than the statically assigned size. Fixed Windows Media Center crash when previewing video. Removed assertion code Fixed a buffer overrun. Fixed MP4 File Processing Buffer Overflows Fixed an OQT memory leak DS Muxer Now sets the PAR in the muxer configurator correctly Fixed a buffer overrun Fixed an OQT memory leak DS GUI Fixed the slider tool-tips display under vista DS Audio Decoder Fixed some audio types not being detected correctly DS Audio Encoder Fixed a buffer overrun QT Video Codec Fixed Vista crash when generating thumb nails for videos Fixed iMovie HD 6.0.4 with QT 7.3 bug Fixed preview not working on first frame during export Supports y420 input pixel format again Now correctly handles applications utilizing QT 7 API Now supports gamma levels Fix failing export once video resized under Quicktime 7.3.1 QT Exporter Fixed iMovie HD 6.0.4 with QT 7.3 bug Now exports correct audio track format on PPC macs Fixed scaling bug with QT 7.3 Fixed white noise bug on Intel Macs with QT 7.3 VfW Codec Fixed a buffer overrun Register Now can be quit with the system exit button Fixed GUI not updating on Name or Company entry Fixed potential buffer overrun Windows Installer Installer checks writability for all 3ivx dll's now Uninstaller is now digitaly signed Correctly limits itself to one instance Fixed application restart code for locked dlls Mac Installer Fixed a bug where execution of Register 3ivx application fails Now correctly displays copyright symbol in the copyright message Uninstaller now correctly detects OS version Known Bugs: QT Codec Sometimes does not report any format description for video tracks Rewinding/Fastforwarding on complex and high resolution video can sometimes result in mis-predicted frames being displayed DS Muxer The muxer is currently limited to muxing streams no more than approximately 9.942 hours in length. If you attempt to mux a stream longer than this the resulting MP4 will be corrupt 3ivx Installer Requires computer administrator to install Unknown Bugs: DS Muxer When using an Apple File Share, you probably can't mux streams over 2GB in size Missing Features: Core Interlaced decoding is not implemented for S-frames (GMC) DS Media Muxer Fragmented Muxing is not ISO compliant and has been disabled Mac QT Media Importer Media Importer is not release quality. You can install it via a Custom Install on Mac OS X Media Importer is PowerPC only Non Issues: DS Muxer The splitter can not be connected to the output of the muxer Permanent Issues: Core XviD streams prior to build0000 (ie up to and including 0.9 stable series) with non-multiples of 16 are not MPEG-4 compliant and exhibit occasional glitches. There is no work-around NVops (not coded PVops) can be used to more efficiently represent dropped frames or frames which are identical to the previous frame. NVops are not correctly handled by the QuickTime MPEG-4 Stream hinter and will cause a -5402 error when attempting to hint a file which contains NVops. The solution is to not use NVop coding. The 3ivx DirectShow Media Muxer can be used to remove NVops from an already coded bitstream. (This is currently still an issue with QT6.5) QT Codec QuickTime 7's native datarate setting is now in kilobits/sec. There are 1000 bits in a kilobit, and 1024 bytes in a kilobyte, according to the QuickTime Player. Due to a work-around for an error in QT7's kilobit->byte conversion, third party applications which do not use the QT7 codec selection dialog to obtain a datarate from the user (in kilobits/sec) may end up undershooting by a factor 1.024 (roughly 2.5%). In order to correct for this multiply the datarate you enter into affected applications by 1.024. This is only an issue when using QT7 Win QT Codec When one movie has two or more video tracks, each encoded with 3ivx there may be problems playing the video when DirectDraw Acceleration is enabled in the QuickTime settings control panel. Work-arounds, disable DirectDraw acceleration, or DirectDraw Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0.2 crashes when loading the 3ivx QT Codec. There is a work-around available, simply rename the CompilerQuicktime.prm' file to 'zCompilerQuicktime.prm'. The file is located at 'C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0\Plug-ins\en_US\" DS Splitter Windows Media Player 11 does not allow seeking when opening mov or mp4 files from within a library. The Solution is to open these files directly DS Video Decoder Windows Media Player 11 does not post process and ignores "Auto-Select for Video Filter Level" in the configuration pane Download (The Trial software is restricted to 30 days with 50 audio encodes): 3ivx 5.0.2 for Windows (878Kb, Shareware, Win 2000/XP/Vista). 3ivx 5.0.2 for MacOS (3.5Mb, Shareware, Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later). Bink Video was Updated to v1.9b 21 December 2007 RadGameTools anonsed new version of video coding program Bink Video v1.9b Bink is a hybrid block-transform and wavelet codec that can encode your video using 16 different compression techniques (wavelet, DCT, motion compensation, a variety of vector quantizers, Smacker-style, etc). With all of these techniques in one codec, Bink can handle any type of video. Bink also has a VBR psycho-acoustic based audio codec that is capable of 8:1 up to 20:1 perceptually lossless compression, so your audio will sound as good as your video looks. Other video codecs force you to license a separate audio encoder, but Bink has one built right in! Another nice feature of Bink is that it's technology was completely independently developed. We are not based on any MPEG or other committee standards (our techniques are quite different, in fact) of any kind, so the IP is safe, encumbrance-free, and (best of all) entirely royalty free. That's why we develop our own codecs (both video and audio) - we don't want to be hindered by any third parties who see games as a side market rather than the target market. RAD has been developing video codecs for games since 1992 - our software codecs were being used before MPEG could even be played on a PC without a hardware decoder card. The other big reason that we develop our own codec technology is because general video codecs are just not designed for games. They are designed to play movies in a nice little media player sandbox on a PC with little else going on. They use a ton of memory (Bink uses up to 16 MB less than other codecs), and they use almost all of the CPU. Bink is designed just for games - we aren't trying to be a media player for the masses, or get integrated into some set top box, or stream video off the internet. Our only goal is great looking, easy to use, high performance video for your games. Changes from version 1.9a to 1.9b Added pre-written SPURS task and RAW support libraries for the PS3 SPU asynchronous decompressor On SPURS, allow the audio codec to be swapped out to make more room when decompressing 1080p movies Wrote SIMD SPU audio decoder routines (which lowered the audio decompression time on the SPU by 25%) Preload a little more data on the SPU routines to get better overlap (which allowed me to shrink the overall memory footprint a bit) Switched a bunch of temporary buffers to the stack with alloca on Windows, Xbox 360, PS3 and SPU. This usually lets us load higher resolution movies in tight memory situations Return from BinkNextFrame and BinkGoto if there is an asynchronous decompression already in progress Fixed an IO buffer problem on the Wii, that would cause very small Binks to fail to load In the RAD Video Tools, try using our built-in file readers for TIFF and JPEG before trying QuickTime - this is much faster Improved the Xbox 360 mix bin support code, so that you can modify the speaker mix during playback Switched to the November Xbox 360 SDK Fixed a bug where ancient Bink files (created before January 2000) would play incorrectly on multi-CPU boxes Fixed a filename length overrun when creating Bink files in very deep file paths Download: The RAD Video Tools [1.55 MB] for Windows (Player + Encoder) The Bink Video PowerPC Player for MacOS X [176 KB] Use this to play Bink files on MacOS X for PowerPC chips only The Bink Video Intel Player for MacOS X [168 KB] Use this to play Bink files on MacOS X for Intel chips only The Bink Video Carbon Player for MacOS 9 and X [170 KB] Use this to play Bink files on MacOS 9 and MacOS X The Bink Video Player for Classic MacOS [170 KB] Use this to play Bink files on older versions of MacOS The Bink Video command line Player for x86 GNU/Linux [116 KB] Use this version of the Bink player to play Bink files from the command line HD Photo to become JPEG XR 20 November 2007 A new attempt to provide a higher-end sequel to the ubiquitous JPEG image standard is officially under way. The multiple countries participating in the Joint Photographic Experts Group, which created the JPEG standard, have approved an effort to make Microsoft's HD Photo format a standard called JPEG XR, said Bill Crow, who has led Microsoft's HD Photo effort and who just took over the company's Microsoft Live Labs Seadragon imaging project. XR stands for "extended range," a reference to the format's ability to show a wider and finer range of tonal gradations and a richer color palette. "The country vote is done, and it passed," Crow said. "That means the International JPEG committee has decided to go ahead and create the standard. Now it's just a process of doing that work," a process that will begin later this month in a meeting in Kobe, Japan. The move is an important step in the transformation of the photo format from an in-house technology called Windows Media Photo to a neutral format more likely to be palatable to companies that don't want to be beholden to Microsoft. However, the move also means that Microsoft will have to be more patient with its hopes to get HD Photo to catch on more broadly. Standardization "typically takes around a year," Crow said. The wait is worth it, said Josh Weisberg, director of digital imaging evangelism for Microsoft's Rich Media Group. "As much as I would love to have more support for it, I think it's logical for people to wait for there to be a standardized version of it," he said. "If we weren't going through the standardization process, we'd be pushing much harder for people to support it." In Microsoft's view, HD Photo also offers better compression and support for in-camera image processing. It's built into Windows Vista, but Microsoft offers the software development kit to implement the technology free and with no royalty constraints. Image-editing powerhouse Adobe Systems has voiced support for the format. www.News.com Hank Coder(HC) v0.22 08 November 2007 HC Encoder (Official WEB site) is a freeware MPEG-2 encoder.

Currently it provides the best compression ratio among all known lossless video codecs. It is confirmed by an extensive comparison using a representative test set. This codec works with RGB24, YV12 and YUY2 color formats and uses the Video for Windows (VfW) application interface. YULS can be used with VirtualDub and other programs supporting VfW codecs. Due to high complexity, the codec is not suitable for video capture or non-linear editing. The codec is FREE for non-commercial use. In version 1.0.3: Compression ratio for video streams with fast motion were improved by up to 5% at the expense of encoding speed due to another compression/encoding speed trade-off time of encoding increased up to 1.5 times for some files and decreased up to 1.8 times for another however, this version is fully compatible with previous ones Download YUVsoft's Lossless Video Codec v1.0.3 (110Kb, FREE for non-commercial use, Win2K/XP) Apple QuickTime Pro v7.3.0.70 10 November 2007 QuickTime is Apple's complete technology for handling video, sound, animation, graphics, text, music, and even 360-degree virtual reality (VR) scenes.

Our only goal is great looking, easy to use, high performance video for your games. Changes from version 1.8x to 1.9a The big asynchronous decompression release! Bink now supports built-in background decompression on Windows, Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 (using SPUs). All of this is done super cleanly, it requires very few code changes, and you don't have to do any direct multi-threaded coding at all Added SPU decompression support on the PS3 - Bink now takes no PPU time at all! You can play up to ten 1280x720 on the six SPUs at the same time, or up to 36 640x480 movies simultaneously! The PS3 is really fast when you can harness the SPUs Added support for background decompression on Windows. All games should use threaded decompression now - it is faster even on single core CPUs (because the blitting takes place concurrently with decompression). The standalone Bink Player has also been threaded Dropped the requirement to do a Sync_Bink_textures on Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii. We now do the cache flush ourselves in the codec (which is faster) Added some clean-up code to the Draw_Bink_textures function on Wii, so that the GX API isn't left in such a weird state Added a FrameChangePercent field to the Bink structure, so you don't have to calculate it with the BinkGetRects function Added some optimizations on Xbox 360, PS3 and Windows 64. Cartoon style videos are up to 15% faster Added support for background decompression on the Xbox 360 Fixed the sound sync on PSP after resuming from a paused state In creating the SPU version, cut the library code/static data size by about 20K on all platforms Put more runtime temporary data on the stack - this saved about 26K of data previously allocated in BinkOpen No longer allocate the delta mask plane unless you call BinkGetRects or BinkCopyToBuffer - otherwise we save another 8K or so Added the total video time in the file info window Show the video name in the Bink Player window Added support for Miles 7.1b Switched to the August Xbox 360 SDK Download: The RAD Video Tools [1.55 MB] for Windows (Player + Encoder) The Bink Video PowerPC Player for MacOS X [176 KB] Use this to play Bink files on MacOS X for PowerPC chips only The Bink Video Intel Player for MacOS X [168 KB] Use this to play Bink files on MacOS X for Intel chips only The Bink Video Carbon Player for MacOS 9 and X [170 KB] Use this to play Bink files on MacOS 9 and MacOS X The Bink Video Player for Classic MacOS [170 KB] Use this to play Bink files on older versions of MacOS The Bink Video command line Player for x86 GNU/Linux [116 KB] Use this version of the Bink player to play Bink files from the command line Perian v1.0 for MacOS - is a free QuickTime component that adds support for many video formats 30 October 2007 Perian is a free, open source QuickTime component that adds native support for many popular video formats.

Download x264 (rev 680) кодек (940Kb, Freeware, Win 2000/XP/2003) Bink Video was Updated to v1.8x 07 October 2007 RadGameTools anonsed new version of video coding program Bink Video v1.8x Bink is a hybrid block-transform and wavelet codec that can encode your video using 16 different compression techniques (wavelet, DCT, motion compensation, a variety of vector quantizers, Smacker-style, etc). With all of these techniques in one codec, Bink can handle any type of video. Bink also has a VBR psycho-acoustic based audio codec that is capable of 8:1 up to 20:1 perceptually lossless compression, so your audio will sound as good as your video looks. Other video codecs force you to license a separate audio encoder, but Bink has one built right in! Another nice feature of Bink is that it's technology was completely independently developed. We are not based on any MPEG or other committee standards (our techniques are quite different, in fact) of any kind, so the IP is safe, encumbrance-free, and (best of all) entirely royalty free. That's why we develop our own codecs (both video and audio) - we don't want to be hindered by any third parties who see games as a side market rather than the target market. RAD has been developing video codecs for games since 1992 - our software codecs were being used before MPEG could even be played on a PC without a hardware decoder card. The other big reason that we develop our own codec technology is because general video codecs are just not designed for games. They are designed to play movies in a nice little media player sandbox on a PC with little else going on. They use a ton of memory (Bink uses up to 16 MB less than other codecs), and they use almost all of the CPU. Bink is designed just for games - we aren't trying to be a media player for the masses, or get integrated into some set top box, or stream video off the internet. Our only goal is great looking, easy to use, high performance video for your games. Changes from version 1.8x to 1.9a Fixed a problem in the Bink file header validation where partially compressed Bink files would be seen as corrupted. This meant you couldn't preview Bink files while they were still compressing in the front-end tool Added more bulletproofing to the audio frame reader to handle additional corrupted input Bink files Switched to the 1.90 PS3 SDK, and built with GCC 4.11. The new GCC is terrific - it sped up decompression on the PS3 by 10% In the Bink compression tool, added an option to apply the alpha pre-multiplication before compressing. Pre-multiplied alpha gives better quality, it filters better, and it's faster - everyone should use it. Also, added an option to use pre-multiplied alpha during filtering (like resizing) and then convert back before compression Updated the examples on all of the platforms to allow you to specify whether you used pre-multiplied alpha Updated the PS3 GCM example to included a simple manager for mapped memory On Xbox 360 and PS3, rewrote the pixel shaders to be more efficient (although the GPUs are so fast on these platforms that it doesn't matter much) On Windows, rewrote the 2.0 pixel shaders to be more efficient, and added an optional pixel shader 1.1 path to run on older DX8-class hardware On Wii, changed the example code to take into account as much information about the Wii texture iterators as is public to minimize resampling errors when scaling a Bink video texture. It's always best to try to play the movies at 1 to 1, though, since it seems impossible to remove all possible scaled sampling errors On Wii, fixed the pause feature so that it resumes the audio tracks immediately. Previously, it could take up to 700 ms for the audio to begin when you paused and then resumed audio Fixed a problem in the front-end tools, where filenames in a list file had to be less than 128 characters long Download: The RAD Video Tools [1.55 MB] for Windows (Player + Encoder) The Bink Video PowerPC Player for MacOS X [176 KB] Use this to play Bink files on MacOS X for PowerPC chips only The Bink Video Intel Player for MacOS X [168 KB] Use this to play Bink files on MacOS X for Intel chips only The Bink Video Carbon Player for MacOS 9 and X [170 KB] Use this to play Bink files on MacOS 9 and MacOS X The Bink Video Player for Classic MacOS [170 KB] Use this to play Bink files on older versions of MacOS The Bink Video command line Player for x86 GNU/Linux [116 KB] Use this version of the Bink player to play Bink files from the command line 3ivx video codec - v5.0.1 06 October 2007 Австралийская компания 3ivx Technologies обновила одноименный MPEG4-кодек до версии 5.0.1.

Lagarith offers better compression than codecs like Huffyuv, Alparysoft, and CorePNG. There are a few lossless codecs that can compress better than Lagarith, such as MSU and FFV1; however Lagarith tends to be faster and stabler than these codecs. Lagarith is able to operate in several colorspaces - RGB24, RGB32, RGBA, YUY2, and YV12. For DVD video, the compression is typically only 10-30% better than Huffyuv. Changes in v1.3.14: Fixed a bug that would corrupt video when downsampling to YUY2 and the resolution was not a multiple of 32 Fixed a bug that would cause crashes when downsampling to YV12 Restored manual installation instructions to the readme for people having problems with the install.bat file Installation! Unpack archive. Right-click on lagarith.inf and select install to install the codec. If you do not see an install option, make sure you extracted the files, and are using the extracted lagarith.inf file.

This is similar to how Zip works, except with FLAC you will get much better compression because it is designed specifically for audio, and you can play back compressed FLAC files in your favorite player (or your car or home stereo, see supported devices) just like you would an MP3 file. FLAC stands out as the fastest and most widely supported lossless audio codec, and the only one that at once is non-proprietary, is unencumbered by patents, has an open-source reference implementation, has a well documented format and API, and has several other independent implementations. Проект FLAC включает: потоковый формат базовые кодеры и декодеры в виде библиотек flac, утилиту командной строки, выполняющую сжатие и распаковку файлов .flac metaflac, утилиту командной строки для редактирования метаданных в файлах .flac плагины для разных плейеров FLAC v1.2.1b: General: With the new --keep-foreign-metadata in flac, non-audio RIFF and AIFF chunks can be stored in FLAC files and recreated when decoding.

It is integrated into the operational system, which allows its use in any program for editing and viewing video. In compression, a new compression algorithm that has no analogs and our own original psychovisual model adaptive to local image fragments are used. This codec is optimized for efficient compression of video of a high and average resolution, which results in a high quality of images at a bit rate lower than 1 megabits in compression of 720x576 DVD video. Description of codec settings. Quantization level is the main parameter. Its increase leads to a higher level of image compression. As the quantization level decreases, the image quality increases and eventually becomes lossless (to be more exact, nearly lossless) if this parameter is set to zero. Of note, the SIF1 codec is not suited for this regime and will become slow and less efficient than specialized lossless codecs. Сolor quantization scaling defines the ratio between quantization levels for brightness and color image components. An increase in this parameter leads to a higher quantization level for the color components relative the brightness ones. If this parameter is set to maximum, the quantization level of color components becomes three times as high as the current quantization level of brightness components. Additional quantizer. While an increase in the level of the main quantizer reduces the quantity of the remaining image details, the level of the additional quantizer determines the accuracy of transmission of the remaining details. A higher level results in a coarser transmission. The additional quantizer exerts a much weaker influence on the final image compression degree than the main quantizer. Maximum I-frame interval is the maximum distance between two neighboring key frames. The codec is able to automatically detect the scene change and insert the key frames where necessary. В версии 0.45 Alpha4: Decoding speed has been increased over 1.6 times The total compression efficiency has been increased The level of some artifacts of image compression has been decreased The psychovisual model has been appreciably increased Download SIF1 Video Codec v0.45 Alpha4 (575 Kb, Free) DivX Author 1.5 02 October 2007 A DivX video editing and authoring program, DivX Author lets you create amazing movies and edit, organize and customize all your favorite videos and photos.
