Our first Open Source Project

As a software development company it’s not uncommon to have our development team searching for open source projects that they can use when developing custom development solutions for our customers. Since the beginning of Mediagaps, back in 2013, we wanted to release an open source project and do our part for the community. Now, the time has come to release a package of our .mov creator c++ api as an open source project.

Why a .mov creator?

At Mediagaps, we develop custom software solutions for media workflows.  One of our projects required us to do some internal work around the creation of .mov files. At the time we only found win32 solutions and not a win64 and that is why we started working on an C++ API for the creation of .mov files in win64. From there to the step to release as an open source projects it was an easy call. We have just released a package in Github repository exposing small demos.

What can you find in our Github project for .mov creation

This tool receives raw bitstream and multiplexes it inside an MOV container using MediaGaps internal libraries. Inside the GitHub project, you can find a simple solution example to explore how to use the internal libraries api or directly use the Demo tool to generate a MOV file from raw PRORES stream and an WAVE file.

At Mediagaps we offer small tools to speed up your development time and although our .mov creator tool is limited to prores and wave files, our internal library supports multiple formats. If you are looking for extra formats and to support Growing files (edit-while-write) and Quicktime reference files which are not enabled in this pack, please contact us at info(at)mediagaps.com.
