As far as I can tell from the QTKit documentation, there is no way to do this in a direct QTKit cocoa call. You need to do this using the Quicktime-C API , which, of course, is not available for 64-bit applications.
I have encountered problems like this many times when trying to convert a 32-bit application using Quicktime to a 64-bit application. Here's hoping that Quicktime X will have a more full-featured QTKit API set.
