Hello out there,

About me:
I am a newbie Mac OS / Cocoa developer. I have read the first chapters of Hillegass' Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, 2nd edition, and successfully compiled some example programs. What I am trying now is to add a Quicktime movie to my GUI, with the long term goal to apply some processing to this video. Browsing through Apples documentation, I got the impression that QTKit is the way such things are intended to be done today. Please warn me if you think I am wrong on this.

What I try to do:
I am following the tutorial provided in the QuickTime Kit Programming Guide, building the simple QTKitPlayer application (see http://developer.apple.com/documentation/QuickTime/Conceptual/QTKitProgrammingGuide/Chapter03/chapter_3_section_1.html) . In part two of the tutorial, "Working With the QTKit Palette", they show how to use InferfaceBuilder (IB) to drag a QTMovieView in the document window and then, via the inspector, control its attributes: editable or not, show or don't show the controller, select a movie source, etc.

My problem is:
I tried this in Tiger (IB 2.5.6) and it works as advertised. However, in Leopard (IB 3.0), it doesn't. Here, the QTMovieView is only a black box, no controls show up, setting the movie source via the inspector does not work (It let's me choose the movie, but the path does not appear in the text field). Setting the "editable" checkbox also has no effect; after deselecting and selecting the QTMovieView, the checkbox becomes unselected again.

Do you have any idea what I am doing wrong? Or maybe you have discovered this effect yourself? Any suggestions are welcome. I searched this mailing list and also the QuickTime-API list, but could not find any references to my problem.

Best regards,
Wolf
