It basically removes the static init() and exit() functions,and move them inside the observer class (the one that cleans everything up when the last media is unloaded).
It also add an extra check to clean up on exit if the QuickTime env is initialized, but no media is succesfully loaded / written (it might happens with streaming resources).
I tested it under WinXP with zero, one and multiple videos.
Stephan reads in copy: could you kindly check if everything runs smooth under OSX as well? Also, have you got a chance to test it with streaming media?

Quicktime supports only files with 3/4-channels rgba-files and not 1/2-channels rgb-files.
This submission is from Tatsuhiro Nishioka, here's his original quote:
When FlightGear crashes, the error message
"GraphicsImportGetNaturalBounds failed" shows up. By adding printf
debug, I found the error was -8969: codecBadDataErr when loading a
gray-scaled (2 channels) rgba files even though the file can be loaded
with Gimp and osgViewer properly.
So I made an investigation on this problem and found an interesting
thing. This error occurs only when non-rgb files are loaded before rgb
files. The reason is that rgba files can be handled by both
osgdb_rgb.so and osgdb_qt.so, but the error happens only when
osgdb_qt.so try to load a gray-scaled rgba file.
When a program is about to load an rgba file, osgdb_rgb.so is loaded
and it handles the rgba file properly. In contrast, when a gray-scaled
rgb file is being loaded after a non-rgb file (say png) is already
loaded by osgdb_qt.so, osgdb_qt.so tries to load the file instead of
osgdb_rgb, which causes the error above.
Anyway, the bad thing is that QuickTime cannot handle gray-scaled rgb
files properly. The solution for this is not to let osgdb_qt handle
rgb files since osgdb_rgb can handle these properly.

I removed QTtexture.h/.cpp and added QTImportExport.h/.cpp. I updated the CMake-files, I hope they are alright. I used the submitted code in my own apps since two months or so and it seems pretty stable, but as always the migration to the osg-quicktime plugin may have introduced new bugs, so perfect for developer release :)"
from Quicktime/Quicktime.h to QuickTime/QuickTime.h.
MacOsX filesystem is normally case insensitive, but in
my case I changed that option and the quicktime headers
were not found. Now compiles fine and on case insesitive
file systems should work correctly too. "
completed the new registration of the plugin-readerwriters
("REGISTER_OSGPLUGIN") according to your osgstaticviewer-example (see
attachment, based on today's svn)."
Stephan and I tested it on Mac and Win.
Just a couple of notes:
* the plugin is able to load both regular 2D images and movie stream. There is a #define QT_HANDLE_IMAGES_ALSO mechanism to indicate whether to use it for images or not. This is defined by default on Mac only, to avoid conflicts with the standard windows plugins. See comments on QTUtils.h
* de-initialization of quicktime before exit is now left to an observer, which calls exitQuicktime() when last media loaded with the plugin is released. This prevent a crash on exit without need of any extra call external to the plugin."
"Attached is the new source for the Quicktime-Plugin which adds the
ability to write pictures in various formats (tested: jpg, png, tif,
psd) (24bit + 32bit only, 8bit not tested)
There are changes in the attached osgDB::Registry, which allows osg to
find resources/plugins in the right folders under OS X"
Note, from Robert Osfield, changed the FilePathList* filepath + delete to a
FilePathList filepath to avoid possible memory leaks when expections are thrown/

instead of osgDB::Registry where it original lay. This has been done to allow
fileName strings to be encode data rather than just file names, such as one
requires when using PagedLOD along with plugins for doing dynamic tesselation.
