Update on Windows given no quicktime

I'm looking for new information about the discontinuation of Quicktime Support for Windows. We have both Windows and Mac machines in our lab. The notes on the newest release did not seem to mention this issue, but maybe I missed it in my quick look.

We would like to be able to continue to use Datavyu for all our coding, but may not be able to if it is not stable on Windows machines. I did see the suggestions to use a Java plugin but it wasn't clear that was a long-term solution. Any updates on the prognosis would be appreciated.

The Java plugin should work for the foreseeable future. We have a beta version of an FFMPEG plugin for Windows undergoing testing right now for release in Datavyu version 1.4. The FFMPEG will eventually replace the other plugins as the default on Windows machines and we hope to have it run efficiently and stably on H.264 encoded files.

We do not plan major revisions to the JavaFX plugin (besides bug fixes) so you should be able to use JavaFX as a fallback plugin even after FFMPEG becomes default.

How support works:

Search to see if someone has already asked your question.
Found someone who has already asked your question? Use the thumb button to up vote the question to make it easier for the next person to find.
Can't find anyone who has asked your question? Create a new question by pressing the 'ask a question' button in the top right. Put in as much detail as you can. Include a sample file if possible and any scripting details.
Help others! Can answer somebodies question, or is the existing answers out of date or just wrong? Create a new answer and put in as much detail as you can, including step by step instructions.
Has someone answered a question you asked? Use the tick answer next to the answer to mark it as correct. This makes it easier for other people to find the answers to similar problems.
Don't create answers thanking people. Use voting and ticks to thank people instead. This increases their 'reputation' or 'karma' (the number next to your name when you sign in). It also makes helpful questions and answers much easier for other people to find.
