Phil,

Your question may get more of a response on the QuickTime-API list...

That having been said, I use +canInitWithURL frequently in my video management software and I don't experience any blocking when the method is invoked.

I suspect that +canInitWithURL only needs to read the header of the object pointed to by the URL before it returns a TRUE/FALSE response.

later,

douglas

How the QTMovie class determines if it can initialize itself from a URL using the method +canInitWithURL: ?

I would like to use this as a means for determining how to treat certain urls in my application, but I do not want the process to get bogged down if the url needs to be completely downloaded and interpreted first.

Thanks,
-Phil
