It has been more than 5 years (thank God) since I've had to deal with the 
QuickTime C API, so my question may be ignorant...

You collect the error return from QTNewDataReferenceFromURLCFString(), but you 
don't check the error, or any of the return values. What happens when you do?

In any event, this is a mailing list for discussion of development with the 
Cocoa application frameworks. The Quicktime-API list deals with the C API for 
QuickTime. All anyone here can do is read the documentation (which is 
appallingly bad, at least as supplied with Xcode 3.2) for you.
