Hi all. I'm looking at writing a QuickTime extension, specifically an audio codec for decompressing MPC (Musepack) files.

This is since iTunes doesn't support MPC, and I believe adding QuickTime support is the best way to go about fixing this.

The only problem I'm having... is where to start! Apple's developer pages have loads of good information, I can appreciate that, but for someone that's never developed properly under OSX before, I'm not entirely sure where to begin.

I've seen the Ogg Vorbis .qtx that's available on the net, but again, nowhere on Apple's site does it really explain the structure of a .qtx extension. Here's hoping they can be decompressed into source. :p

Just wondering if anyone's ever tried their hand with QuickTime, or knows of any web pages with more information.

Thanks!
