If you look at the QTKit documentation, it will tell you what's been available
since when. Some things have been there since 10.3, while others were added in
10.5. However, I would not recommend distributing Apple's (or anyone else's)
software with your app unless you have their permission.
That's because you're getting an object pointer back, and any object pointer
except for nil evaluates to true. Assuming you know it will only be one object
inserted at a time, you'd want to do [[change
objectForKey:NSKeyValueChangeNewKey] boolValue].
