My interest is piqued too! Although, so far I've only got as far as your 
snippet (which is to say that I have quicktime opening and closing... a 
long way from being useful!).

I've snooped around WIN32OLE.new("QuickTime.QuickTime") and 
WIN32OLE.new("QuickTimePlayerLib.QuickTimePlayerApp") and whilst it 
looks promising, I'm struggling to work out the arguments that are 
required to get the various methods working.

Anyway, I stil haven't been able to find any decent references for the 
quicktime library - I'm not even sure what I'm looking for. If you can 
post the extra code you mentioned and any references that you have come 
across I'll let you know how it goes. I still haven't been able to find 
the right references on the apple developer site - I'm sure it's there 
somewhere, I've probably eve looked at it a few times, but I'm starting 
to feel stupid!

Dan
