Hello Douglas,

Like Ton said;  "Go ahead !", if you have any insight on the Quicktime 
Codec Options "Freeze" problem.
Thing is, i coded the Quicktime stuff on a win pc (where it all works 
properly), and have no OSX develop
machine available to troubleshoot the Dialog freeze.
All i know is that when the Options dialog gets activated, OSX looses 
track on which window has the
actual input focus, and stops handling events for the application. There 
are QT code examples around that
have more details regarding the event handling of the Options dialog, 
but this requires OSX native system
calls which i know nothing about.
The best option would be to integrate the codec dialog settings in 
Blender's interface, like sgefant has
coded for linux' liquicktime, but unfortunately i'm kinda clueless on 
how to obtain the specific settings for
each individual codec. Since the current implementation works for me 
(heh) i gave up on the matter.
I am however very willing to support you or anyone else that would like 
to tackle the problem.

Regards,
Rob
