Getting Movie Track Format info



Hi,

I'm looking for a way to get basic information about a Quicktime movie, for example, QuicktimePlayer provides information such as the format (such as "MPEG-4 Video, 704 x 544, Millions AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz"), data-rate, etc.

I am using QTKit in Cocoa, and I have been able to retrieve a lot of information from the attribute dictionaries such as resolution, duration, etc. But there is one main piece of info I can't seem to get via QTKit, and that is the Video and Sound formats of the tracks in the movie.

For example, I would like to be able to get the format of the video track, e.g. "MPEG-4, Millions of Colors", and also the format of the audio track, e.g. "AAC, Stereo, 44.100kHz"

Like I said, I'm using QTKit in Cocoa at the moment, I don't mind dropping to the native Quicktime API, but I haven't done any native Quicktime before so might need some hand-holding

If anyone can help, that would be great!

- Pete
