hi Kevin,
sorry if this is a repost, my last one was rejected for being too big
YES, the QTMovieNaturalSizeAttribute definitely returns the size i am
looking for
the remaining problem is that the movie posetr returns a size of 100 x 100
so when i capture the poster it is really pixelated
i've tried everything -- how do other people get movie posters and/or grab
movie frames?
best,
bill
