Q We are trying to write a QuickTime codec, but we're having trouble because
NIM:QuickTime Components is not written to the Universal Headers, and the sample codec source on the
Developer CD series does not build at all.
Where can we get a QuickTime component that builds for PowerPC under the current Universal Headers
(or source code for a codec)?
A The codec example in the SDK is not written for native mode (this will be done
for a later SDK). Until the native codec example becomes available, you can get the information you need from
the QuickTime Technote QT 05 - Component Manager Version 3.0,
swhich provides details on creating native components. The guidelines presented are from our effort to write native
components (PowerPlug, Sound Manager). Note that you have to use Resourcerer or Rez to create the component templates
(not ResEdit).
