Movie Import Component Selectors

Q I'm working on a movie import component which manages multiple data files. I have noticed in QuickTime 2.5 that there are new selectors in the Movie Import API that are not described in Inside Mac:QuickTime Components.

Although I found some information in Technote QT04: QuickTime 1.6.1 Features, I have not been able to locate any information about the 'kMovieImportGetFileTypeSelect' and'kMovieImportDataRefSelect' selectors. Can you tell me something about these?

A The 'kMovieImportGetFileTypeSelect' and 'kMovieImportDataRefSelect' selectors were added to support some features that were under investigation with the QuickTime for Netscape plug-in. At this time, there isn't any other code that makes use of these selectors.

While these APIs are supported by some of the Apple Movie Import Components, they do not provide any new functionality and there is no reason to consider implementing them in your Movie Import Component at this time. Documentation will be provided on these routines if and when it is actually required.
