| 03-07-08 / 23:34 : QuickTime scripting from javascript (cjed) |
| At digitalmedia.oreilly.com we can read an article that shows how to control QuickTime sequences from javascript. We can also discover a demo of Orao, a QuickTime medias video player made using QuickTime javascript scripting functions, that provides these features : Clean fast forward, Fast rewind, Jog Shuttle, Frame by frame step forward and backward, Direct access to any frame, Precise information about the currently displayed frame, Precise information about the amount of already downloaded data (in progressive download), Selection control (constraint the navigation within the video), read of any format, Encrypted cache, no easy way to pirate the video, even in progressive download. This solution is sold by Opsomai company, and is used notably by the INA. At the vrarchitect.ne blog the writer exlains why QuickTime is better than Flash, and that Flash isn't used in any VOD. Finally, on ADC site about QuickTime scripting from javascript, we learn that the other way (call javascript from a mov container) still existed but was removed starting QuickTime 7.1.5 verison due to security concerns. |
