QD 28 - error -8976 When Displaying JPEG-Compressed PICTS with DrawPicture (15-Sept-95)
Q When displaying JPEG-compressed PICTs with DrawPicture, I call QDError and
get the error code -8976, which isn't documented anywhere I've looked. What's
going on?
A This is the codecNothingToBlitErr error. It means that the picture was drawn
into an entirely clipped-out bitmap. You can safely ignore this error. This is
fixed in Apple's Multimedia Tuner (and will be fixed in future versions of
QuickTime), so that the error won't be reported. Better, of course, would be to
avoid drawing into clipped-out bitmaps at all.
