Shorter than the one I've been using, but leaves one question open:  How do
I derive the frame rate?  (other than asking the user to open the movie in
QT Player first, that is).

Stuff to look into:

QT Timecode:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/QuickTime/TimeCodes/QTTime
Code.htm

Archived sample code:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Sample_Code/Archive/QuickTime/QuickTim
e/TimeCode_Media_Handlers.htm


I just saw these on the Apple Dev site.  I'll plow through these and see if
I can find anything useful....  (the first one seems the more useful of the
two; the second is considered "unsupported").
