"Each array element is an NSDictionary containing key-value pairs. 
Currently two keys are defined for this dictionary, 
QTMovieChapterNameand QTMovieChapterStartTime. The value for the 
QTMovieChapterName key is an NSString object that is the chapter name. 
The value for the QTMovieChapterStartTime key is an NSValue object 
that wraps a QTTime structure that indicates the start time of the 
chapter."

Everything you need to know is right there. If some of the terms 
aren't familiar, look them up - NSDictionary, NSString, and NSValue 
are all basic Cocoa concepts which you _need_ to be familiar with, and 
QTTime is something you'll need to know about if you're doing anything 
with Quicktime.
