It appears to me that the QuickTime framework only supports 32bit and 
PPC architectures

  $ cd /System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/
  $ lipo -info QuickTime
  Architectures in the fat file: QuickTime are: i386 ppc7400

This means that you can't link it with 64bit code.


As far as I understand the situation, Apple is doing a complete 
reimplementation of QuickTime. The legacy QuickTime framework as used by 
the QuickTime Player 7 will not be updated to 64bit.
