Well I can't seem to fix the problem, and my boss wants results fast, so I'm now looking for a fellow ffmpeg coder with EXPEREIENCE in decoding of all formats, specifically quicktime or mov. our product is a next generation drm solution, i can't get into any more details except to say ffmpeg is the core component of our freeware player. ffmpeg is not used in the commercial aspects. but you will be paid. anyone interested contact me at antonycoder at btinternet.com or on msn Antonycoder at btinternet.com please do not reply to this thread, i'd like to discuss it in private only. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Antony Wells" <AntonyCoder at btinternet.com> To: "FFmpeg user questions and RTFMs" <ffmpeg-user at mplayerhq.hu> Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2007 12:23 PM Subject: [Ffmpeg-user] Does MOV playback work in ffmpeg?
I'm trying to decode a 125mb hi-def quicktime (The serentity trailer from the apple site)
but as soon as it goes to decode the first video stream packet, it hangs.
can anyone confirm hi-def movs can be played back?
I know i already asked a similar question but no one answered, and i need an answer. I've ran out of options.

ffmpeg-devel isn't really just for developers rather than for normal users?
wouldn't it be better that a developer monitoring this users forum picks up these two issues (one bug and one feature request) and makes the appropriate steps on the developers forum?
