Technical Q&As: Carbon
The QuickTime C API includes over 2000 functions that developers can use to develop applications dealing with video, sound, animation, graphics, text, interactivity, and music. Nearly all of the C API can be used in Carbon applications for Mac OS X. (Some parts of the API are for Windows developers or for earlier versions of the Mac OS.) The QuickTime API Reference identifies all functions as being either in Carbon or not in Carbon.
