I can second that, although I'm still developing against Tiger.  I use
those wrappers to help flesh out support in my app for selecting
frames from QuickTime movies to use as preview thumbnails.  Also
needed to use Carbon.Qd to handle the PICTs involved (which I then
move over into an NSImage) and Carbon.QuickTime for some constants.

I forget the exact details but there was some support not provided by
Tiger's QTKit (I think it had to do with getting access to frames
without actually needing a UI element to show the movie in) - not sure
if it's been improved in Leopard.

And it was a little tricky moving movie objects between the two - in
the end I think I ended up reopening the movie using QTKit if I needed
additional processing with it.
