QuickTime movie frame rate or duration (in time scale) of a frame

Greetings,

I need to calculate the duration (in time scale units) of a single frame of
a video track in a Quicktime movie... This would seem to be a very simple
task, simply divide the movie's "time scale" value by the video track's
frame rate, which would give the duration of a single frame.

The only problem is that I cannot find a property for "frame rate" of any
object in the Quicktime Player object model... Nor can I find any other
property (or properties) with which I could calculate that value.

Can anyone help, or is this is a known limitation of the object model??
Seems like a glaring omission at best, so I remain hopeful I'm missing
something.

Btw, I'm scripting on OSX 10.1.x using the latest Quicktime 5.05 (installed
with FCP3) if that makes a difference... Willing to write for OS9 if
necessary.

Thanks,
