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. 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

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 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
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.

VisualHub м1.2.8 - video converter for iPod
20 November 2007
Converting a bunch of AVI files to a DVD shouldn't require a Computer Science degree.
Getting movies from your digital camera to your iPod shouldn't take hours.
Wading through a sea of video formats shouldn't pull you under.
VisualHub bridges the gap between numerous complicated video formatting standards, and people that just want to get the job done - just what you
would expect from the Mac.
If you're looking for something a little more flexible, VisualHub's up for that challenge too. An extensive Advanced panel lets you change all
pre-set aspects of encoding...and then some.
Based on the popular, award-winning "iSquint" conversion software for iPods. If you've used iSquint, you already know how to use VisualHub. If
you've never used iSquint, you won't have a lot of catching up to do anyway.
Features:
Fast conversion from nearly every video format to iPod, PSP, DV, DVD, Tivo, AVI, MP4, WMV, MPEG and Flash
Convert any file in three steps. Click, drag, click
Fit up to 18 hours of video on one DVD. Play it in any standalone DVD player
Xgrid support. Use the power of every Mac on your network for batch encoding
QuickTime Pro or special plugins not required
DivX/XviD AVIs, all forms of MPEG video, and many other formats QuickTime struggles with are supported
Batch Processing of multiple files. Save in-place, or to a different folder
Very comprehensive Advanced panel to modify every aspect of encoding
Dynamic Preview - See results before beginning a long encode
Stitch multiple files together to combine videos
Highly detailed, informative Users Guide
Universal Binary for PowerPC and Intel Macs
New in v1.28:
iPod touch support!
Fixed oversizing problem with 8**x352 clips when converting to certain iPod formats
The iPhone preset now also supports the higher bitrate and resolution options as the iPod nano, classic and touch
Forcing non-16:9 material to Anamorphic 16:9 DV now works as expected
Fixed problems with certain MPEG presets
Spanish (Spain dialect) Localization by Emilio Perez Egido
VisualHub's core functionality has been tested on Leopard and runs great.
The Xgrid Encoding features do not work properly on Leopard Controllers or Agents. See more information
here.
YUVsoft's Lossless Video Codec (YULS) was designed to achieve
maximum compression. 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

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

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

DivX v6.7.0.18 for Windows
05 October 2007
DivX Networks Inc. выпустила пакет DivX версии 6.7.0.18. Новая версия кодека полностью поддерживает
стандарт 1080. Она обеспечивает корректное декодирование всех видеофайлов, созданных ранее, а также содержит некоторые дополнительные возможности,
такие как конвертирование файлов из одного формата в другой "на лету". В кодек также встроены средства для изменения соотношения сторон, что
позволяет, например, просматривать видео 16:9 как 16:11, не прибегая к возможностям пост-обработки проигрывателя.
Компания Nero обновила свой, от недавнего времени, бесплатный аудио кодек
Nero Digital Audio AAC Encoder. Кодек полностью
совместим с новейшим аудио стандартом MPEG-4 (LC-AAC, HE-AAC и HE-AAC v2), а благодаря совместимости с 3GPP пользователи могут
хранить целые музыкальные альбомы в одном файле формата .mp4.
Nero Digital Audio может работать с любой программой для создания аудиофайлов. Кодек имеет гибкие настройки, позволяющие
определить качество звука – от уровня компрессии 2.5:1 для достижения наивысшего качества и до максимального сжатия, при котором
на один CD может поместиться до 58 аудиодисков. Nero Digital Audio может кодировать звук c частотой дискретизации от 8 до 96 кГц
и с битрейтом до 320 килобит в секунду на канал. При этом можно выбирать между несколькими режимами кодирования: двухпроходным,
с постоянным или переменным значением битрейта.
Основные особенности кодека:
первый в мире бесплатный двухпроходный MPEG-4 AAC кодер
поддержка моно, стерео и многоканальных данных
степень сжатия от Ultra High (58 CD дисков на одном) до High-End Audio (2.5:1) для любителей высокого качества
частоты сэмплирования до 96 кГц при 32 битах с плавающей точкой
MediaCoder представляет собой своеобразный мультимедийный комбайн, при помощи которого
можно конвертировать аудио и видеофайлы из одного формата в другой. Проделывать это MediaCoder может в пакетном режиме, не обращая внимания на
то, что в списке заданий могут находиться совершенно разные задачи.

VobBlanker was not launching the fixing pointer phase when a cell number mismatch was detected replacing cells/pgcs
Lagarith is a lossless video codec intended for editing and archiving. 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.
FLAC 1.2.1b released - Lossless audio compression technology
03 October 2007
FLAC stands for Free Lossless Audio Codec, an audio format similar to MP3, but lossless,
meaning that audio is compressed in FLAC without any loss in quality. 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

A very useful application for running and displaying applications rich in multimedia elements.
Microsoft DirectX is a group of technologies designed to make Windows-based PCs an ideal platform for running and displaying
applications rich in multimedia elements such as full- color graphics, 3D animation, video and rich audio.
DirectX 9.0 includes security and performance updates, along with many new features across all technologies, which can be
accessed by applications using the DirectX 9.0 APIs.
SIF is a universal video codec of a new generation. 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

Вышла новая версия популярного проигрывателя от компании Apple Computers.
QuickTime воспроизводит файлы собственного формата *.qt, широко представленного в
Интернете. Среди других возможностей программы можно отметить поддержку 3GPP и 3GPP2, включая видео, текст и звук, совместимость с
видеокодеками MPEG-4 и H.263, поддержку звуковых форматов MP3, AAC, AMR и QCELP; протоколов потокового вещания HTTP, RTP и RTSP;
графических форматов JPEG, BMP, PICT, PNG и GIF. Еще одна функциональная особенность QuickTime – опция деинтерлейсинга полей во время
воспроизведения цифрового видео, для получения сглаженной картинки.
Основные изменения данной версии связаны с устранением обнаруженных ранее уязвимостей (всего восемь штук), которые могут быть расценены как
критические, поскольку каждая из них может стать причиной удаленного выполнения на компьютере вредоносного кода. Кроме исправлений, впервые
в бесплатной версии плеера появилась возможность смотреть видео в полноэкранном режиме. Ранее эта функция была доступна только в коммерческой
(QuickTime Pro) версии. Также был обновлен кодек H.264.
Команда Koepi's Media Development обновила XviD кодек до версии XviD v1.1.3.
Все изменения коснулись только ядра - исправлены проблемы с безопасностью в модуле mbcoding.c.
Детально про исправление можно прочитать на этой странице.
