I have updated the QTIndexSwapper2 AIR applicaiton, used for swapping h264 MOOV atoms around. In the latest update I added the ability to call the QTIndexSwapper2 AIR application from the command line. This feature requires two command line arguments. The first argument is used as the folder path to files you want processed. The 2nd argument is used to define the folder where you want the processed files to be outputted to. Invoking on the...

I have updated the QTIndexSwapper2 AIR application. This update includes some UI fixes to display status of the video processing properly and make it hopefully a little better to understand. It also includes some code to check for updates of the application. You can find the update at the QTIndexSwapper page.

The QTIndexSwapper v1.4 update is to support AIR v1.0 and a small 64 bit atom size parsing fix. In connection with this update I am speaking at 360Flex Atlanta tomorrow. I’ll be showing how the QTIndexSwapper AIR application works. As well as demonstrating the use of H.264 metadata in the flash player.
