[vlc] vlc-0.9.9 and libquicktime on 64-bit linux box

[Felix Paul Kühne]

Hello there,

the quicktime decoder module you are trying to compile is not based  
upon libquicktime, but Apple's official QuickTime C API SDK (for Win32  
and Mac OS X). This module makes use of Apple's binary codecs on the  
supported platforms through the respective API. Anyway, QuickTime's C  
API isn't 64bit compatible on _any_ platform and requires Wine on Linux.

In fact, you don't need this module. You can play virtually every so- 
called QuickTime file or stream with a normal VLC binary [1].  
Additionally, this module is highly out-of-date.


Best regards,

Felix

[1] VLC can't display QuickTime VR scenarios and can't decode some  
really, really old QuickTime files from pre-1995, but that's it.
