During the last LLVM developers'meeting, several Apple engineers made some presentations about their work on different aspects of LLVM. One of them explains the work on "clang", a new C front-end, which will also support C++ and Objective C. Chris Lattner also discussed the use of LLVM in Leopard Open GL. Slides and videos available. Additionally, LLVM 2.0 was released recently.

The only platform I have that Quicktime has been ported to is Windows XP, and my experience with Windows-based Quicktime is that it's very slow, a memory-hog, too buggy, full of advertisements for other Apple products (I hear it's got much worse after iTunes and the iProduct revolution), and I don't get the same quality as with other file formats the same size. One of the last crashes I had with Windows was the boot after I installed Quicktime; I uninstalled it in Safe Mode, and my computer booted again.
I'm told it's none of these things on a Mac. Too bad my only Mac is a SE/30...

Any recent ffmpeg-based player (last year or so, IIRC) will play just about any QuickTime file you throw at it. If you're on Windows, try FFDShow and Media Player Classic.

I know this is slightly off yopic (and I would like to know what is LLVM as well) but, since when is QuickTime an obscure format?
