Looking through the list archives, I found a post from Harry Plate,
dated Dec 9 2005, dealing with much the same problem as I have --
namely that FsRef functions aren't in the Quicktime SDK libraries
for Windows, though it they are listed in the header files.
I am trying to load an audio file which uses an 'e' with an acute
accent in the filename; this fails when I use FSMakeFSSpec or
NativePathNameToFSSpec. It would seem that under OS X, using
FSMakeFSRef would would be the appropriate course of action. Given
that the function isn't available under windows, how do I go about
opening files with special characters in their names? Has anyone
(Harry?) made any progress with this who is willing to share their
discoveries?
Thanks very much in advance for any help.
If possible, you should switch to the new DataRef APIs which work OK
with "funny" chararcters - I have a folder full of weird filenames
which I use just for testing this.
QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString is your friend on Windows.
