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: http://visionegg.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/trunk/visionegg/src/qtmovie.py?rev=1375&view=markup
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. Scotty Vercoe wrote: >I am building a media application for OS X, using QuickTime to >display a movie file with a different audio track.
