Is there a documentation for reading Quicktime MOV file without using Quicktime SDK?

• quicktime
• specifications
• file-format

Wotsit.org has 4 documents about the MOV file format.

Apple has released a QuickTime File Format Specification.

If you are particularly industrious, and are looking to rewrite quicktime, you can read the specification from Apple.

Or, you can just put a wrapper around an existing library such as Libavcodec like mPlayer does.

Have a look at the source for mplayer, ffmpeg, vlc.

Should be some kind of documentation there.
