MovieModernizer

Apple has dropped the QTKit support in macOS11. So if you need to convert some movies from Quicktime legacy format you can use this framework.

It is an Objc Cocoa Wrapper around <QTKit/QTMovieModernizer> that you can even call from swift 3,4
It works with targets from macOS10.9 to macOS10.X with no restriction.

Carthage Compatible

Add github "benoit-pereira-da-silva/MovieModernizer" to your Cartfile

Swift 4 integration sample.

You need to create a bridging header. Refer to MixandMatch on developer.apple.com

Import MovieModernizer in your Bridging header

#import <MovieModernizer/Modernizer.h>

You can now modernize legacy QuickTime Movies

    ...

    ///  Even when returning true you have no guarantee it will succeed
    /// - Parameter url: the url
