So that makes 2 votes in favor of qt container support in FE, rest
assured I'm only talking about *container* support here.
Are there any nay-sayers? Should we pass this through legal first? (no
please). Anyone who can give a definite YES?
I'm not too familiar with the QT container format, but here's an Apple
developer talking about parts of QuickTime that is patented:
http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/vorbis-dev/2001-October/004846.html
Whether the patent is still valid, or whether it's implemented in
gstreamer-plugins-bad, I don't know.
IANAL, but the patent referenced there if I understand the mail correctly is about optimising a file when creating one so that it can be easily streamed, that doesn't seem relevant for qt-reading code.

Hans
