Random images extracted using [QTMovie currentFrameImage] are scaled incorrectly Nick Forge Wed Oct 31 12:05:51 2007 

<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; 
-webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="margin-top: 0px; 
margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><font 
face="Helvetica" size="3" style="font: 12.0px Helvetica">I have an app that 
extracts the frames of a movie using [QTMovie currentFrameImage]. The NSImages 
are then exported to an obscure file format, for use with other software. With 
a particular movie I have, a few of the frames get vertically scaled - i.e. the 
top of the image is where it should be, but the bottom is stretched "up" a bit, 
and there is a few pixels of whitespace at the bottom. I have bypassed my own 
exporting code by using the following code to export the first 
frame:</font></div><div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px;
