I was quite disappointed in this article. I had high hopes when I read the first sentence:
"A number of readers have been asking for a column describing how to use Cocoa and QuickTime together"
but then he quickly goes on to say that he will show how to incorporate QuickTime media. I don't know about all of the other people who want to know "how to use Cocoa and QuickTime together" but this is NOT the point for me. In fact I would say this acticle has little to do with QuickTime if he is not using the API, it is simply a small app to play a .mov .mpg or .mp3 file. This needn't involve media created with QuickTime.
Please, please, please O'Reilly get someone to do the REAL article on how to use QuickTime in Cocoa -- ie some examples of using the QuickTime API. I just came across this site while trying to incorporate QuickTime into a Cocoa-Java app and the Apple documentation is not great - I can't even find the full API documentation for Java QuickTime.
Also, as a poster commented a month ago the link for the complete project doesn't work. Perhaps if either the author or O'Reilly people read this forum this can be corrected?

Does Apple have any plans to "Cocoa-ize" the older frameworks/Toolbox. I've looked at the QuickTime API and it's not very easy to figure it out. The language is all very foreign and complicated from a Cocoa/objective-c perspective. Apple has done a fabulous job with Cocoa, making many things accessible to new programmers, but there's still an almost insurmountable wall between the new stuff and the old (but still very important stuff like QuickTime).
