make calls to Quicktime routines.

I'm not sure that I want to dig into QuickTime API under OS 8/9, but thanks for the tip :D. If I'm feeling particularly rambunctious maybe I'll delve into it.

I never tried it with Apple video hardware (my beige G3 doesn't have

that option) but the same code worked through a higher-end video input

PCI card system and a FireWire webcam. They used a uniform Quicktime

interface to software, so I imagine the Apple hardware probably did as well.
