[ptx] Re: Problems with Autopano-Sift and Mono on OS X

Aargh! Yet another thing that has been broken by QuickTime 7!

I found a post on the Mono-OS X list 
<http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/mono-osx/2005-May/000185.html> 
which seems to be relevant:

As each QT update tends to break bits of my workflow the main work 
computer is still on QT 6.5.2, and my laptop with QT 7 on it is in for 
repairs so that explains why there are no problems at this end. If you 
are on Tiger it looks like you will have to wait for the next OS X 
build of Mono as there is no way of downgrading Tiger to QT < 7.

Later today I'll boot up from an external disk with QT 7 installed and 
double-check that this is the problem.
