Initing an image from an NSMovieView/Movie

  • NSMovieView is an odd duck. Normally, you can
    initWithFocusedViewRect: on any view, and grab the bits in the view.
    No such luck - the window server is drawing from QT buffer, which the
    AppKit has no access to.

    Is there a Carbon programmer on the list that would post the code to
    grab, eg, the poster frame from a quicktime movie and convert this
    into something the AppKit can use, eg, an NSImage? I began reading
    the Movie toolbox API and immediately got dizzy.
