So just one file gets updated:
\n\/System\/Library\/QuickTime\/QuickTimeComponents.component<\/code>
\nThere are some telling strings about a JPEG2000 update in this file:
\n\/SourceCache\/QuickTime\/QuickTime-616\/Warhol\/CodecManager\/JP2Codec2\/JP2Interface\/Kakadu\/apps\/jp2\/jp2.cpp<\/code><\/p>\n

Warhol<\/strong>: that was the name of Quicktime when it was in development and apparently still around for nostalgia’s sake
\nKakadu<\/strong>: This is a C++ framework for JPEG2000 handling, which is not just for stills, it can do motion<\/a> too. I’ve always Vjed with MJPEG clips for quality’s sake.
\nQuickTime-616<\/strong>: The previous version of QuickTimeComponents.component contained QuickTime-579<\/strong>, and the Kakadu website mentions they are up to version six<\/a> now, so it would seem this version number is related to Kakadu and not Quicktime? However I seem to remember QT Player Versions numbers and API’s don’t always sync…<\/p>\n

However I can’t say exactly what else is in this binary file that improves compatibility with iLife. And I don’t think I’m gonna bust out otool and find out either. Pick up Amit Singh’s book<\/a> for How-To’s on that :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
