Ogg Vorbis in Quicktime 6.0.2

Posted by Hemos on from the getting-it-to-work dept.

elohim writes "The kind souls at QT Components have released an ogg vorbis component that allows playback of oggs in quicktime 6.0.2 and itunes. Hopefully we'll see ogg encoding integrated in itunes soon. This is a big step forward for vorbis fans! I can hardly wait to pick up a shiny, new powerbook and start blasting my oggs!" CT Yeah, this is a dupe. Whatever. It's the holidays- nothing else is happening ;)

    methinks (hopes) that this is in fact a laying of the groundwork to add an ogg component to ipod. the firmware is upgradable after all.

    i don't know if i should... try asking in #vorbis on irc.xiph.org. i think attempts to get it included have been greeted with silence. also look into portalplayer.com . they supposedly designed the ipod software for apple, and might be a potential target for an ogg zealot petition. it seems like wishful thinking, however.
