Thanks for the replies guys. What I would like to do, may be a lot simpler than what i may have explained. I just want my app to launch the quicktime movie, in what looks like exactly like the finder quicklook window - in fact if its possible to even somehow do it with an applescript or something - i.e. just tell finder to launch it! Is that possible?

The quicklook framework is private and therefore should cannot be reliably used in an app. There are a few site out there that give example code that calls it though.


Since when was this? QuickLook is not a private framework, and it is possible for third-party apps to use it as a client without using any private APIs.

What third-party apps can't do is get a QuickLook QuickTime preview, which is what the Finder does when looking at QuickTime files. And I suspect the Finder is not using QuickLook on QuickTime files, but is instead using QuickTime directly.
