Thanks Brian. That worked ! Couple of follow up questions though -
1. This works for English and also worked for French, German and Spanish paths (I tried the special symbols associated with each). Now, it doesn't work for languages like Chinese and Arabic for example. I get the -37 error. Is there something unique about the mapping of Unicode to CFStrings that it has trouble with some languages ?
2. I'm using CreateMovieStorage() and AddMovieToStorage() to create my file. When I call AddMovieToStorage(), it seems to create a .#res file also. Previously, I used the CreateMovieFile() with the createMovieFileDontCreateResFile flag and PutMovieIntoDataFork() and this did not create a .res file. However, the CreateMovieStorage() doesn't document use of this flag. What do I do to not create a res file ?

Subject: Re: QTNewDataReferenceFromFullPathCFString returns -37
The problem is here... CFStrings are not null terminated internally, so when you tell it you are giving it an array of _MAX_PATH characters, it creates a string whose length is _MAX_PATH. As a result, it QTNewDataReference... thinks the file name is Clip_12.mov\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0...\0, which exceeds the 63 character file limit. You should replace the line below with the following:
CFStringRef pathstr = CFStringCreateWithCharacters(0, (UniChar*)tmpPath, _tcslen(tmpPath));
