Quicktime 7 & ImageJ

[christophe leterrier]

Hi folks,

Just wondering why I can't get ImageJ to work with the Quicktime
plugins. I've tried the quicktime installation described on the ImageJ
website, but later found that custom Quicktime installation was not
possible nymore with the currently available QUicktime + ITunes package
from Apple. Anyway Apple says QT7 installs QT for Java by default now,
buit even with the trick explained on the IJ website (adding the path
for QTJava.zip in the ImageJ.cfg file)I just get errors when I try to
use either Save as... QT Movie or QT movie exporter.

Do anyone know how to get IJ working with the latest QT ?

Christophe

PS: I'm using the last WCIF install of ImageJ with the IJ.jar updated to
1.35f

A custom installation is not necessary with QuickTime 7. All you have
to do is put a copy of QTJava.zip in the ImageJ plugins folder. Look
for QTJava.zip in places like C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem or
C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0\lib\ext, or use the Windows Search
function to find it.

To "Compile and Run" plugins that use QuickTime, put the copy of
QTJava.zip in ...ImageJ/jre/lib/ext instead of in the plugins folder.

Hi,

I tried following those instructions (changed .zip to .jar for
compilation).  But when I compile and run the quicktime player I get
this error:

This bug ("QTJava has expired") is in the QTJava.zip file included with
early versions of QuickTime 7 for Windows. The fix is to install the
latest version of QuickTime or iTunes.
