Nope and why would you want to? No app will read the embedded profile today.
QuickTime movies play in the QuickTime Player.
QuickTime Player is an application wholly controlled by Apple.
QuickTime Picture Viewer will call the Display Profile set through
the OS e.g. when printing.
The issue is whether QuickTime Player 5 will call either the Display
profile or the RGB Default profile in ColorSync 3.X?
If no call is made, then this is a bug in QuickTime Player 5 IMO.
If a call is made, but QuickTime Pro 5 has no provision for embedding
an ICC type mntr RGB profile similar to the provision made in
ColorSync 2.5 and higher to embed all three types of device profile
in TIFF and PICT, then Apple is not supporting Apple's QuickTime
format which is equally a bug IMO.
Claiming that others should support embedding of ICC type mntr
profiles is vacuous if Apple does not support calls to ColorSync in
QuickTime Player 5.
Come on, I mean this is kind of odd, don't you think ?
Let's have the long and short of this, please.
