NSRect to carbon Rect conversion

Hi,

My application uses a quicktime movie (QTMovieView) contained within 
an NSView within an NSWindow. We are trying to echo this movie to a 
video output device. The movie is displayed correctly on the video 
output device but incorrectly on the main monitor.

I get the co-ordinates of the movie view as an NSRect and convert 
these to a Rect, see below, so I can use the SetMovieBox() method.

However there seems to be a problem in converting from NSRect co-
ordinates to Rect co-ordinates. The movie co-ordinates do not match 
the movie view co-ordinates after the following conversion:

Rect theMovieFrame;
NSRect i_MovieFrame;
...
theMovieFrame.top = 15;
theMovieFrame.left = 100;
theMovieFrame.bottom = (short)i_MovieFrame.size.height;
theMovieFrame.right = (short)i_MovieFrame.size.width;

The movie view values obtained are as follows - {x = 0, y = 0, w = 
643, h =  381} but  the following values {t = 15, l = 100, b = 396 , r 
= 577} are the ones which SetMovieBox needs to display the movie 
correctly.

The following screenshot demonstrates the problem:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
