[Pythonmac-SIG] Carbon/QuickTime help

[Andrew Straw]

You could leverage off the work I've recently done with ctypes and
QuickTime. Here's part of the code, you should be able to find the rest
from there:

Caveats:

I don't know how well this will work on the Mac at this point -- I wrote
the ctypes stuff to get it working on Windows and probably broke the Mac
stuff, which used the quicktime module included with MacPython.

It would be great to make a ctypes/QuickTime interface
(semi)-automatically from the header files, but my needs were too
minimal to invest the effort.

I don't know how well this will work with a universal binary.
