The Lloyd project intends to continue development of QuickTime for Java, the popular and capable Java wrappers to Apple's QuickTime media libraries, by providing new functionality to the QTJ developer. This will be accomplished by providing Java bindings to QuickTime API's that have not yet been exposed via the official QTJ API, and by providing new features of specific interest to the Java media programmer. Initial features will include access to QuickTime 7's metadata API (not yet in QTJ) and an AWT/Swing component for previewing video capture (removed from QTJ in 6.1). Possible features include Java2D-to-QuickDraw conversion, Java2D-to-Quartz conversion, frame-reordering codec API's, QuickTime SWT components, etc. Initial code base is a mixture of Java and C code (using JNI) that targets Mac OS X, though the project intends to get a Windows version working as soon as possible.
