Brian,

I believe that at least codecMaxQuality is defined in
*quicktime.std.StdQTConstants*; thus, you either need to:

(a) Option 1
import quicktime.std.StdQTConstants;
Then reference it like: StdQTConstants.codecMaxQuality

(b) Option 2
Have your class *implement* quicktime.std.StdQTConstants, then you can
just reference it as codecMaxQuality without having to say
StdQTConstants.codecMaxQuality. For example, if you class is named Foo,
then you could do:

import quicktime.std.StdQTConstants;
public class Foo implements StdQTConstants {
    ...
}


Hope this gets you started. Not sure if all of your missing symbols are
in StdQTConstants (there are a few places in QTJava where constants are
defined).

-Woody
