This is a demuxer supporting a subset of the Quicktime video container
format developed by Apple. Apple and others have some patents on
some features of the Quicktime container format in regards to technologies
such as QuicktimeVR and RTP hinting. Due to that be aware that if ever
such features are added to this demuxer it would need to be moved to the
-ugly module or those features need to come as add-in functionality stored in
another module.
As the plugin is as of today's date (19th of June 2007) it do not
violate any software patents we know of.
