- This was a bug in QuickTime 1.0 that hurt me once. When you flatten a movie
- and you ask it to include everything in the data fork, QT is supposed to set
- a bit in the movie telling it to reference this new file and not use the
- references to the old data files. This was called something like the
- "Self-Reference" bit. Unfortunately, this bit was not being set in QT 1.0.
-
- I'm not sure if there's any good way around this. I know that this bug has
- been fixed in QT 1.5.
-
- Good luck!
