But as far as I understand, you don't need to link with 10.3.9 SDK to get app working on Panther, until you don't use Tiger-only API. So using 10.4u SDK you can get UB that will work fine on PPC under 10.3.9 and Intel. I've just build UB version of the app I've send to bugreport.apple.com as an example to the problem and got the same behavior: when I use Initialization routine in framework it crashes and when do not use - it runs fine.

My problem is that Feeder uses QTKit and is built as a 10.4 Universal application. When linking for 10.4 (which I have to do to make it a Universal binary) the version of QTKit linked is incompatible with 10.3.9, whereas it was compatible in all versions before QuickTime 7.2. Apple has acknowledged the bug - <a href="rdar://5338802" rel="nofollow">rdar://5338802</a>. And unfortunately I can't produce a PPC-only version of Feeder linked against 10.3.9 without changing code and branching into two versions - the last time I tried, it was looking painful. Thanks.

I just encountered the same problem recently in the application I'm developing. When I was looking for solution I found this discussion. That helped me to understand that I was not alone. %) Now, I've localized the reason that caused QTKit to crash and fixed it. Maybe it'll help you also. In my situation I had a framework linked to QTKit, that had an explicit initialization routine, as soon as I removed that routine (in my case I didn't need it already) the all went well. I've the small example project, that demonstrates exactly the same behavour. Regards, Aleksandr Hi! I just encountered the same problem recently in the application I’m developing.

We're bound to OS 10.3.9 due to limitations on a soon to be replaced audio interface (Digi 001 which won't support Tiger). There appears to be no simple solution to the uninstall QT dilema and though I don't hold you responsible in the least, a red flag would have save me (and my four good friends) a ton of grief. For those others going thru the pain, visit the Apple discussions group mentioned above and know that your tears have company. Add me to the list of Panther users.

They have confirmed that this is their bug, to be addressed by them. I am quite serious when I say how many people are affected by this. Workarounds are: - Downgrade to QuickTime 7.1.6. I have no instructions on how to do this, you can always seek help in the QuickTime support forums: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=932 - Upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4 If you want a refund, bearing in mind that this will be fixed in a QuickTime update, you should write to support@reinventedsoftware.com to tell me your registration code or email address used to purchase Feeder, as I can't find your details from the name or email used for your comment.
