QTKit + Fairplay = Error?

I'm trying to play an episode of The Office that I bought from iTMS. Here is my code:

================================
NSError *nsErr = nil;

/* Try to load the movie file */
if ([QTMovie canInitWithURL:aFile])
theMovie = [QTMovie movieWithURL:aFile error:&nsErr]; // debugger fails here
NSAssert(nsErr == nil, [@"Error loading movie: " stringByAppendingString:[nsErr localizedDescription]]);
[theMovie retain];
================================

This works for an episode of Family Guy that I ripped from DVD, and also works for a TMBG music video from their website. When I try to run this on "The Office", I get the following in my run log:

================================
2005-12-26 00:52:50.767 Cinema[1181] *** Assertion failure in - [FullScreenPlayer setMediaFile:], /Users/mehaase/Cinema/ FullScreenPlayer.m:21
2005-12-26 00:52:50.767 Cinema[1181] Error loading movie: an unknown error occurred
================================

If I step through the above code in GDB, the program exits with a return value of 45 on the line with the comment "debugger fails here". (As a side note, how do I figure out what exit codes mean?)

I've opened "The Office" in QuickTime player so I know that QuickTime can decode the Fairplay DRM, but I guess that decoding ability isn't present in QTKit yet. Is this correct? Any ideas on potential work- arounds?
