I am having trouble taking user input and converting it to a QTTimeRange, storing that value and applying it to a Movie object.
The user input would be formatted like:
movieStartPoint: "00:00:05"
movieEndPoint: "00:00:15"

I followed the documentation: the string is assumed to be in the form “hours:minutes:seconds.frames:: hours:minutes:seconds.frames”.

NSString *theRangeString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@. 00:: %@.00", [movieStartPoint stringValue], [movieEndPoint stringValue]];
QTTimeRange theRange = QTTimeRangeFromString(theRangeString);
NSString *theRangeValue = QTStringFromTimeRange(theRange);
[myDictionary setAttribute: @"timeRange" withValue: theRangeValue];

    NSLog(@"\r%@\r%@", theRangeString, theRangeValue);

The print output:
00:00:05.00:: 00:00:15.00
0:00:00:00.00/1000000~-43:01:10:29.787974/1000000

The documentation is incorrect. The string should be in this format:

dd:hh:mm:ss.ff/ts~dd:hh:mm:ss.ff/ts
