Mac OS For QuickTime Programmers

Component Management

"Component Manager," in this book defines some of the original Mac OS Component Manager functions and data structures that a QuickTime application may call when interacting with a component. Newer Component Manager functions are described in Chapter 2, "Component Manager," of QuickTime 3 Reference.

The "Component Manager" road map page, in the online version of the QuickTime 3 documentation, contains links to both the old and newer API elements.
