I need to use QT to convert a .mov file to a .mp4. However, the only ways I've found online to do this are through Carbon. Is there any way to do it through Objective-C and Objective-C only? I don't know any Carbon, so using even sample code is difficult, since I don't know which parts I need to take out or how to hook them into my app.

Any help?

The quicktime api is written in C. Carbon isn't needed, and you can use quicktime in objective c. However, all the calls will be in C. You just need to link the Quicktime framework and then #import <QuickTime/QuickTime.h>.

The QuickTime API is a behemoth, it is true. If you can, wait until Tiger and look out for QTKit (small blurb at http://developer.apple.com/wwdc/desc...sandmedia.html)
