Hi Andy,
may you please explain better? Are you joking?
I have only to get the ID3 metadata like artist, song title, etc, so I
wouldn't like I had to load the whole file in memory just to get the
metadata informations. It should run very very slow...
I'd personally use the official id3v2 C-library for that...
I do only this:
NSURL *movieURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:theItem];
NSMovie *theMovie = [[[NSMovie alloc] initWithURL:movieURL
byReference:NO] autorelease];
UserData inUserData = GetMovieUserData([theMovie QTMovie]);
So please let me know, does this load the whole movie in memory?
Do you really think QuickTime would load whole *movies* into memory?
Esp. considering that movies are very often larger than the memory
available or addressable on a 32bit architecture.
Of course, loading the file using QuickTime just for the metadata isn't
very efficient, but not *that* inefficient.
