Okay, so I did what you said, but yet, it still won't show me the track names. Here is my code:

Media media = [[[[[movieView movie] tracksOfMediaType:QTMediaTypeText] objectAtIndex:0] media] quickTimeMedia];
        
        TimeValue64 timeValue = 0;
        TimeValue64 duration = 0;
GetMediaNextInterestingDecodeTime(media, nextTimeMediaSample + nextTimeEdgeOK, timeValue, fixed1, &timeValue, &duration);
        
        ByteCount size;
GetMediaSample2(media, NULL, 0, &size, timeValue, NULL, NULL, NULL, nil, nil, 1, NULL, NULL);
        
        char chars[size];
        
GetMediaSample2(media, &chars, size, NULL, timeValue, NULL, NULL, NULL, nil, nil, 1, NULL, NULL); NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:chars length:size encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
        NSLog(@"String: %@", string);

Thanks,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Since you didn't define "easy" or tell me what you'd tried, then I'll have to make some assumptions about what you know. I will assume that you have read the documentation on QT media samples.

The basic steps:

        Get the text track.
        Get the track media.
loop thru the media samples using a function like GetMediaNextInterestingDecodeTime() with the parameters of your choice Use GetMediaSample2() to get the data/length associated with the text sample. Create an NSString with the bytes/length returned in the previous call

regards,

douglas

I have a QTMovie (that is valid), and it has a text track. I am wondering if there is any easy way to get the contents of the text track into an NSString.

Thanks,

Joe
