The quicktime module for Python 2.4 has a lot of new functionality (and 
it's also available as an addon for Python 2.3, through my experimental 
database for Package Manager). Access to codecs is one of the things 
that has been added.

But, of course, I've only tested it very lightly and it's very possible 
I forgot some essential things. Could you please check whether Python 
2.4 (or its Carbon.Qt module used in 2.3) allows you to access the 
codec you need?
