Hello John Trentini, I'm sorry, I had missed your last message.... With Brennan you had the same feeling: to use a little application (like RealBasic) to access that info. I think it's a very good idea.( if I can do the job !) Thanks a lot jl you wrote: Hi Jean-Louis, I was afraid you would have a good reason for wanting the frameRate. In that case I can't help you but I have a feeling that a little application could be written (in some programming language?) that could access that info from the Quicktime Pro player. Your problem will be that the end user will need to have the Quicktime *Pro* version installed. Hum,...doesn't look good E-mail Bruce Epstein directly, he may like a challenge. Also, the tech support at Apple might be able to offer suggestions. Good luck John [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/LUJ/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Lingo-L is for learning and helping with programming Lingo.
