I haven't done this, but I would be interested in hearing about the solution you come up with. What you describe sounds like a bug worth filing a bug report on. I'll speculate the device implementation sees that you are opening a file and uses the number of bytes as a hint to the length of the video (incorrectly). So a random, not completely thought out idea...what if you created an intermediate local socket which you use to further separate the temporary file from the NSFileHandle. Maybe the implementation won't be able to find the file size if your NSFileHandle wraps a socket instead. -Eric -- Beginning iPhone Games Development http://playcontrol.net/iphonegamebook/ _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
