Opening a screencast from a Mac OS X app in QuickTime

One of the upcoming bug fixes for ProfitTrain is how it handles opening up the introduction screencast. Rather than build my own movie player I opted to simply open the introduction screencast using QuickTime.

Sadly however with Snow Leopard, by default, the user only gets QuickTime X, which has it’s own bundle identifier and thus broke my previous code. I rewrote the code and it now uses in preferred order: QuickTime 7, QuickTime X or a default player (which in testing seemed to be Safari).

Enjoy!
