Quicktime API for C++

I'm developing a C++ application that works with mov files. This is the first time I work with the Quicktime API, and it seems there's more than 1 API. What I'm trying to do is extract frames and/or audio from the mov file. The application needs to run on PC, Mac, Linux.

So my questions.

  • Which API do I need to work with?
  • Is this API compatible with all 3 end platforms, or do I need to work with different Quicktime APIs for PC, Max, Linux
Solution

  • Google for: ffmpeg, libavcodec, libavformat
