quicktime-java

Thanks Andre; I was not able to find Quicktime/Java equivalents to some of the 
C functions in the reference you provided (particularly 
TextMediaSetTextSampleData), but I rewrote the application in C and it works 
great.

Would be happy to provide my code if anyone is running into the same problem.  
It reads Unicode text from a file and inserts it into a movie as a scrolling 
caption.

Thanks,
  Josh

Hi,

I thought I would do a bit of hunting myself and I came across this  
technical note:

http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2005/qa1400.html

The technical note is target towards the C API, but hopefully this  
should give you
the starting point for solving your problem.

André
