Fwd: QTKit + Fairplay = Error?

I'm trying to play an episode of The Office that I bought from iTMS.  

Here is my code:

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:

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?

This is the expected behavior and has nothing to do with QTKit. You would get the exact same behavior if you build a QuickTime application using Carbon APIs. QuickTime Player knows the magic incantation to recite to get DRM'd video to open and play. There is, to my knowledge, no workaround.
